After having one child with Down Syndrome, the likelihood of having another is about one percent. If the first child's Down Syndrome is due to translocation trisomy 21, the likelihood of another Down Syndrome child increases. As far as researchers know at this point, Down Syndrome is not attributed to the parents' behavior prior and/or during pregnancy or any environmental factors.
