Symptom #7: Wide Hands

People’s hands and feet come in different shapes and sizes, but some will have features that are noticeably different from the norm. This can be down to various reasons, including genetics, with certain characteristics being passed down from parents. It can also be due to Down syndrome.

It is quite common for people with Down syndrome to have hands that are wider than usual, while they will also have feet that are smaller than usual. They will also have only one crease going across their palms whereas other people usually have at least two. Neither of these conditions are harmful or hinder the patient in any way.
