  1. mongolism

    Mongolism is an outdated and offensive term that was once used to refer to Down syndrome, a genetic condition that affects physical and intellectual development.

People with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome, which causes distinct physical features and developmental delays. This condition can also lead to various health problems.
