Tonsil Microbiome of Down Syndrome Children
Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a high prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Treatment requires surgical removal of the tonsils. In Non DS (NDS) children, OSA is associated with changes to the tonsil microbiome. In this study we aimed to characterize the tonsil microbiome of DS children to NDS children with OSA.
