I stand corrected.

Apparently in the 1950s and 1960s Trisomy 21 was sometimes called Trisomy G.

I have come across no source other than Sullivan or commentaries on Sullivan that claim that Tri-G is common medical slang for Down's Syndrome.

On the occasions when I have heard a medical professional reference it, they called it "Down's" - not "Tri-G."
