Which of the following is NOT typically present in a patient with Down syndrome?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Microglossia
Down syndrome is classically associated with MACROGLOSSIA (a relatively large tongue, sometimes due to a small oral cavity and hypotonia) rather than microglossia (a small tongue) — making microglossia the correct 'NOT typically present' finding. Delayed eruption, intellectual disability, and increased periodontal disease risk are all well-documented features of Down syndrome.
