Do both twins have a transverse hand? Is it Down syndrome?

Patient's question:

Both twin babies have one transverse palmar crease each. Is it likely that they have Down syndrome? Could I be a carrier of a disease-causing gene? They are fraternal twins, boy and girl. At the 42-day check-up, the doctor noticed that each has one transverse palmar crease, the girl on the left and the boy on the right. I've researched the typical symptoms of Down syndrome, and the two children's appearances are almost nothing alike. They have a feeding reflex and are eating well. At 50 days, the boy can hold his head up very high, while the girl still cannot.

Doctor's answer:

We know that intellectual disability has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is very rapid, which can bring great harm to young children. Therefore, it is essential to seek professional medical treatment at a qualified hospital in a timely manner. This is the key.
