Brief summary
Recently, retrospective studies have shown that Down Syndrome children have a higher CO2 (carbone dioxide) sleep pressure than the general pediatric population. This increase does not seem to be always related to sleep apnea. The Investigators wish to confirm these results prospectively. The investigators hypothesize that this alveolar hypoventilation may be due to ventilatory control disorders caused by dysautonomia, but also to a decrease in the strength of the respiratory muscles within the framework of the global muscular hypotonia described in children with Down syndrome. .
Detailed description
47 Down syndrome patients age from 4 to 16 will be included. They will perform a medical visit at J0, then a measurement of gaz nocturnal exchanges at home within 1 month
