Is it always very obvious that a child has Down syndrome? Is it possible that it may not be known?

Children with Down Syndrome may have some prominent physical features that a gynaecologist may be able to detect. However, there are 3 types of Down Syndrome: 1) Trisomy 21 (95% of cases) 2) Translocation (4% of cases) and 3) Mosaicism (1% of cases). Children with Mosaicism may have less prominent physical features of Down Syndrome. Therefore is it always advisable to do a chromosome test to confirm if the child is with Down Syndrome.
