Overview

To realize a sleep phenotyping in a population with Down syndrome, its determinants, and the consequences of these disorders, with a specific focus on sleep apnea syndrome.

Description

Sleep disorders are widely observed in the Down's syndrome population, due to a number of risk factors, and can become established in early childhood. Diagnosis of sleep disorders in Down's syndrome is difficult and often delayed, which can contribute to poor health in children with Down's syndrome. Phenotyping sleep characteristics in this Down Syndrome population will enable early identification of the consequences of these disorders, with a specific focus on sleep apnea syndrome, whose origin is multisystemic.
