"It is important to recognize that trisomy 21 does not receive enough attention from the scientific community. This is a unique book that brings to the medical community the vast work still needed to understand trisomy 21 and to improve outcomes of individuals with Down syndrome. The Trisomy 21 Research Society has done an excellent job supporting this publication and Mara Dierssen has achieved her goals well in editing this extremely important contribution." --Doody
