Official Title: Depressed AIRE Gene Expression Causes Immune Cell Dysfunction & Autoimmunity in Down Syndrome

Brief Summary: This study plans to learn more about Down syndrome. The investigators think there is a different level of the AIRE gene in individuals with Down syndrome. The investigators think that the AIRE gene level can provide more insight about depressed immune cell function in individuals with Down syndrome. Patients are being asked to be in this research study because the investigators want to see if their blood contains more of less of the AIRE gene.
