Welcome to Mosaic Down Syndrome on the Web.   My name is Bree, and I am the proud mommy of Morgan, my beautiful angel girl, born on July 17, 1999, and diagnosed with MDS.  When my daughter was born, there was absolutely nothing on the Internet about MDS.  I was devastated.  It was because of this devastation and lack of information that this website now exists...so new parents won't ever have to experience what I did (and so many others).   I know that this site's contents may appear "general" to many of you, but I wish I had a website such as this to go to in July, 1999, the day I found out what my daughter's diagnosis was.  I do not feel alone anymore.  This site continues to be updated, so do check back frequently.  Thank you.

Please do not send me your medical questions...you'll find a link to your left where you can ask medical professionals your questions OR you can join our MosaicDS support group and post your questions there!

The most common reason for this late diagnosis is the lack of knowledge in the medical field on this rare form of Down syndrome. However, many individuals can go undiagnosed up into adulthood and there are still thousands who never receive a diagnosis.  Continue reading on the IMDSA Website  >>
