Abstract (english)
Down syndrome as the most common genetic disorder caused by excess chromosome on the 21st pair causes a number of phenotypic, psychomotor and cognitive specificities that are associated with excess genetic material. Depending on the intensity of gene expression, there are brain abnormalities of varying intensity such as differences in brain size and appearance, disruption of proteins crucial for neuromorphogenesis and optimal functioning of brain cells, which ultimately causes a number of conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress, dendritic branching and intellectual disabilities. Excess genetic material in children with Down syndrome does not define special requirements regarding eating habits, however its overexpression very often causes conditions that require special dietary intervention. From an early age, feeding problems can be caused by hypotonia. Besides, sensory sensitivity to a certain consistency and texture of food is expressed, which leads to a deficient intake of nutrients through diet necessary for cognitive development. Numerous studies have focused on the importance of dietary intake of certain nutrients to improve the cognitive development of children with Down syndrome. Of exceptional importance for brain development is the intake of ω-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, iodine, vitamin B12 and folic acid. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of research on the importance of nutrient intake crucial for the development of cognitive abilities through diet in children with Down syndrome.
