Patient's question:
Both hands are transverse hands. Now he laughs when I talk to him, but he doesn't look for the sound source, he chews his hands, he can roll over sideways, and he's quite cute. I had a low-risk NIPT during pregnancy, so could the transverse hands of the baby be a Down syndrome child?Doctor's answer:
The baby's hands are well connected. Down syndrome screening during pregnancy is low-risk. Do not rule out guidance for Down syndrome children: the baby's condition can be examined for missing small fingers and curved segments, or a chromosome test to confirm the diagnosis. Trisomy 21-3 syndrome is generally characterized by a low nose bridge, low-set ears, wide eyes, and a short neck. Generally, it can be identified through the palm or not. Children have special faces. Experienced doctors can recognize it from their faces. The diagnosis of Trisomy 21-3 syndrome requires a chromosome test of the child.
