Le syndrome du grand coquelicot, ou «tall poppy syndrome», est une expression […] qui désigne le fait de chercher à nuire aux grands coquelicots. Ces personnes sont cibles d'envie et de jalousie[,] car elles réussissent mieux que les autres. Il s'agit alors de couper les têtes qui dépassent afin d'être au même niveau que les autres, et que ces derniers ne souffrent pas de la comparaison. 3, record 1, French, - syndrome%20du%20grand%20coquelicot

En 1866, le Docteur Langdon Down, fut le premier à décrire quelques-uns des traits des personnes atteintes [du syndrome qui porte son nom]. Il constata certains traits ressemblants au mongolien (habitant de Mongolie). C'est ainsi que le terme fut introduit dans notre vocabulaire. Puis en 1959, le Docteur Jérôme Lejeune découvrit que le «problème» se situait au niveau de la distribution des chromosomes. Il put vérifier que, sur la 21[e] paire, il y avait un chromosome de plus; c'est ce qui venait débalancer le système cellulaire. C'est pourquoi nous l'appelons aussi trisomie 21. Trisomie pour trois chromosomes et 21 pour la 21[e] paire. 3, record 13, French, - syndrome%20de%20Down
