Patient's question:
My karyotype is: 45.xx.t(21,14). What impact does this have on pregnancy? Will the child definitely be deformed? Can it be avoided? What is the probability of having a healthy child?Additional question: I would also like to ask: How can I check after pregnancy to ensure the fetus is not deformed? Do I need to do any tests before pregnancy? Or is there any way to change the chromosomes?
Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, it is recommended to undergo a 3D or 4D ultrasound examination during the 5th to 7th month of pregnancy to monitor the growth and development of the fetus. It is advisable to expand your knowledge by learning more about medical topics, and to pay attention to strengthening your nutrition by consuming fresh vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in protein and iron, such as fish, ribs, chicken, eggs, and pork liver. Other necessary tests include a screening for major congenital anomalies at 20 weeks of pregnancy, and a comprehensive evaluation of fetal growth and development using ultrasound measurements of fetal physiological data and clinical measurements in the later stages of pregnancy. A glucose screening test is conducted between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. In fact, there are various potential issues that can occur with the umbilical cord. Modern prenatal care and medical technology enable doctors to identify problems promptly before, during, and after delivery, provide accurate diagnoses, and take decisive measures.
