Chromosome 21 trisomy or Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability (ID). DS is also associated with hypotonia, muscle weakness, autoimmune diseases, and congenital heart disease. C-C chemokine receptor type 3 (CCR3) plays a role in inflammatory, autoimmune, and neuronal migration mechanisms. The present study aimed to evaluate the expression of the CCR3 gene by NGS and qRT-PCR in patients with DS and normal controls (NC). The CCR3 gene was over-expressed in DS patients compared to NC. These data suggest that an over-expression of the CCR3 gene is associated with the phenotype of patients with DS.
