Is a child with a transverse palmar crease definitely suffering from Down syndrome?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Transverse palmar crease, increased ATD angle; increased palmar creases on the 4th and 5th fingers; a transverse arch on the tibial side of the hallux ball area and only one digital crease on the 5th finger. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this condition, and long-term patient education and training should be provided to children with the condition. Preventing infectious diseases and various communicable diseases, early use of oral vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, folic acid, etc., can help improve function. Surgical correction can be performed for other associated deformities.
