Yes two non-Down syndrome parents can have a Down syndrome child. This is the most common situation, mainly because very few Down syndrome affected people are parents. Few Down Syndrome affected people become parents, partly because of reduced fertility associated with the syndrome, partly because of an increased risk of passing on the syndrome (very roughly from 1 in 800 to 1 in 3), and partly because of societal restrictions. ___________ Also, the parent(s) who has 1 down syndrome gene will be passed onto the child
