title: Serum hyaluronic acid in Down's syndrome.
abstract: In agreement with previous studies we show an age-related increase in serum levels of hyaluronic acid in healthy individuals. Levels in Down's syndrome persons were slightly higher, especially in those with hypothyroidism. This provides further evidence that the normal ageing process is accelerated in Down's syndrome.
