Down's syndrome

Hi,

I'd be so grateful if someone give me hand with the italicized part of the following:

"Doctors gave me drugs to stop my labor, but then a sonogram showed my baby was unusually small. "It could be Down's syndrome," they told me gently."

Regards,

Iman

"Syndromes" are often named during the early phases of their "discovery," when the causes are completely unknown. At that time, their description comprises a collection of symptoms which are found together.
Later, when the cause is determined/discovered, the name persists (X Syndrome/ X's Syndrome).
