Doctor's answer:

21-Trisomy 21 syndrome is primarily characterized by intellectual disability, delayed physical development, and a distinctive facial appearance. It is necessary to undergo a thorough peripheral blood chromosome examination in a hospital. Generally, tertiary-level Grade A hospitals can perform this test. A diagnosis can usually be confirmed based on clinical manifestations. For mosaic Trisomy 21 syndrome, it is even more dependent on a detailed chromosome examination for diagnosis. Early nurturing care is beneficial for the patient's growth and development.
