Patient's question:
My baby was born 13 days ago. Today I noticed that both hands are missing fingers. None of the adults in the family have missing fingers. Some people said that if both hands are missing fingers and it's not hereditary across generations, it might be a Down syndrome child. I was terrified. Could you help take a look at my baby?Doctor's answer:
The images you purchased cannot be used to diagnose a Down syndrome child. A diagnosis of Down syndrome requires sufficient evidence. In this case, there is no need to be too anxious. You can take your baby to a regular hospital for a screening for Down syndrome. Additionally, if your prenatal screening is normal, it does not necessarily mean the baby has Down syndrome.This is the advice for the question "My baby was born 13 days ago, and today I noticed both hands are missing fingers." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
