Patient's question:
My karyotype is: 45.xx.t(21,14). What is the impact on pregnancy? Will the child definitely be deformed? Can it be avoided? What is the probability of having a healthy child?First follow-up 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 between the 5th and 7th months of pregnancy to monitor the fetal growth and development. 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 protein- and iron-rich foods 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 should be conducted between the 24th and 28th weeks. In reality, there are various potential issues that can arise with the umbilical cord. Modern prenatal healthcare and medical technology allow doctors to identify problems promptly before, during, and after delivery, provide accurate diagnoses, and take decisive measures.
