A day spent with Aldi Hoxha, a man with Down syndrome from Gjakova who lives, works, hangs out with friends and plays basketball in Prishtina.
The human body is made up of cells. Each cell in the human body consists of 46 chromosomes, 23 inherited from one parent, and 23 from the other.
In the case of Down syndrome, an additional chromosome, or part of one, is attached to chromosome 21 if abnormal cell division occurs, and as a result, a person can have 47 chromosomes instead of 46, in each of their body’s cells or some of their cells.
The term ‘syndrome’ describes a range of different symptoms that consistently occur together. Down syndrome is not a disease, so there is no medical cure for it.
People affected by Down syndrome are no different from others, except for some differences in their genetic makeup. There is one thing that they can be considered different for, however — known for their sensitivity, people with Down syndrome can offer unconditional love to those around them.
