Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) - Market Insight, Epidemiology And Market Forecast - 2034

Key Highlights

Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an error in cell division called ""nondisjunction,"" resulting in an individual having a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters development, leading to the physical and intellectual characteristics associated with Down’s syndrome.

The market size of Down’s syndrome in 2023 was approximately USD 241 million in the United States.

In 2023, the United States accounted for nearly 220,000 prevalent cases of Down’s syndrome.

Down’s syndrome is more common in females than males.

The types of Down’s syndrome include Trisomy 21, Robertsonian translocation, and Mosaicism. In 2023, among all types, Trisomy 21 accounted for the highest number of prevalent cases in the 7MM.

There is no single, standard treatment for Down’s syndrome. Treatments are based on each individual’s physical and intellectual needs, as well as their strengths and limitations. People with Down’s syndrome can receive proper care while living at home and in the community.

In February 2021, the ICOD project received funding of EUR 6 million from the European Commission in order to finance the clinical development of AEF0217 for the treatment of cognitive deficits linked to Down’s syndrome.

Down’s syndrome Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Down’s syndrome Overview

Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an error in cell division called ""nondisjunction,"" resulting in an individual having a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters development, leading to the physical and intellectual characteristics associated with Down’s syndrome. Down’s syndrome manifests in three primary forms: Trisomy 21, Translocation Down’s syndrome, and Mosaic Down’s syndrome. Trisomy 21, the most prevalent type, results from an extra copy of chromosome 21 in every cell, constituting about more than 90% of cases. Each type carries its own set of characteristics and variations in severity, shaping the spectrum of the condition's expression.

Down’s syndrome Diagnosis

A screening test can tell a woman and her healthcare provider whether her pregnancy has a lower or higher chance of having Down’s syndrome. Screening tests do not provide an absolute diagnosis, but they are safer for the mother and the developing baby. Diagnostic tests can typically detect whether or not a baby will have Down’s syndrome, but they can be more risky for the mother and developing baby. Neither screening nor diagnostic tests can predict the full impact of Down’s syndrome on a baby; no one can predict this. Screening tests often include a combination of a blood test, which measures the amount of various substances in the mother’s blood (e.g., Noninvasive prenatal testing, MS-AFP, Triple Screen, Quad-screen), and an ultrasound, which creates a picture of the baby. During an ultrasound, one of the things the technician looks at is the fluid behind the baby’s neck. Extra fluid in this region could indicate a genetic problem. These screening tests can help determine the baby’s risk of Down’s syndrome.

Further details related to diagnosis will be provided in the report…

Down’s syndrome Treatment

There is no single, standard treatment for Down’s syndrome. Treatments are based on each individual’s physical and intellectual needs, as well as their strengths and limitations. People with Down’s syndrome can receive proper care while living at home and in the community. A child with Down’s syndrome likely will receive care from a team of health professionals, including, but not limited to, physicians, special educators, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and social workers. All professionals who interact with children with Down’s syndrome should provide stimulation and encouragement.

Down’s syndrome Epidemiology

The Down’s syndrome epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by the Total Prevalent Cases of Down’s syndrome, Type-specific Cases of Down’s syndrome, Gender-specific Cases of Down’s syndrome, Prevalent Cases of Down’s syndrome by clinical manifestations, Prevalent Cases of Down’s syndrome by Age in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

According to the Global Down’s syndrome Foundation, there are very rare forms of Down’s syndrome (less than 6%) called translocation Down’s syndrome or mosaic Down’s syndrome in which not all of the chromosomes are triplicated or not all cells of the body carry the extra chromosome.

In 2023, the United States accounted for nearly 220,000 prevalent cases of Down’s syndrome.

The prevalent cases of Down’s syndrome by age are segmented in three categories i.e., 0-18, 19-40, 41-60 and >60. Amongst all, the 0-18 category accounted for the highest number of cases in the United States.

Down’s syndrome is more common in females than males.

The prevalent cases of Down’s syndrome by clinical manifestations is segmented into cardiac, hearing, vision, respiratory, autoimmune, neurological disorders, and other clinical manifestations. Amongst all, hearing accounted for the highest number of cases in the United States.

Emerging Drugs

AEF0217: Aelis Farma

AEF0217 is being developed by Aelis Farma as a signaling-specific inhibitor of the CB1 receptor (CB1-SSi). The CB1 is the main receptor of the brain’s endocannabinoid system and is responsible for regulating several physiological and cognitive processes. Recent research has suggested that cognitive disorders linked to trisomy 21 involve hyperactivity of the CB1 receptor. AEF0217 is positioned as the first treatment for cognitive deficits caused by hyperactivity of the CB1 receptor. AEF0217 aims to capitalize on the distinctive characteristics of CB1-SSi, which allow it to inhibit the hyperactivity of the CB1 receptor without affecting normal physiological functions or causing significant side effects—two criteria that are particularly important for vulnerable populations such as those with Down’s syndrome.

AEF0217, which targets various cognitive disorders, including those associated with Down’s syndrome, has completed safety and pharmacokinetic trials (Phase I clinical program) in healthy volunteers. Currently, AEF0217 is being investigated in the Phase I/II trial, MDDS, for treating Down’s syndrome.

A detailed assessment will be provided in the final report.

Down’s syndrome Market Outlook

Down’s syndrome (DS) is the most common genomic disorder of intellectual disability and is caused by the trisomy of Homo sapiens chromosome 21 (HSA21). Individuals with trisomy 21 present with a distinct collection of symptoms and manifestations that affect multiple body systems, although variation exists between individuals. The management of patients with Down’s syndrome is multidisciplinary. Newborns with suspicion of Down’s syndrome should have a karyotyping done to confirm the diagnosis. The family needs to be referred to the clinical geneticist for the genetic testing and counseling of both parents.

There is no single standard treatment, but a range of therapies and interventions are available to help individuals with Down’s syndrome reach their full potential. Treatment options include physical therapy that helps with motor skills, muscle strength, and coordination; occupational therapy that focuses on developing everyday skills like dressing, eating, and using technology; speech therapy, which aids in improving communication skills; special education services provided under federal law to ensure appropriate education for children with disabilities; behavioral counseling that addresses conditions like ADHD or autism that may coexist with Down’s syndrome; social and recreational activities for promoting social interaction and engagement; and health monitoring to manage associated health conditions like heart defects, digestive issues, and thyroid problems.

Currently, several emerging therapies, such as AEF0217, ACI-24.060, and others, are being evaluated in mid-stage and early-stage clinical trials.

Detailed market assessment will be provided in the final report.
