\"Bill<\/strong>\u00c0 propos de la Fondation mondiale du syndrome de Down
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Global Down Syndrome Foundation<\/strong> is a public non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to significantly improving the lives of people with Down syndrome through Research, Medical care, Education and Advocacy. Formally established in 2009, the Foundation\u2019s primary focus is to support the Institut Linda Crnic pour le syndrome de Down<\/a>, the first academic home in the United States committed solely to research and medical care for people with Down syndrome. Since Down syndrome is the least-funded genetic condition in the United States, fundraising and government advocacy to correct the alarming disparity of national funding for people with Down syndrome is a major goal.<\/p>\n
