Patient's question:
The child is just over three years old and was recently diagnosed. We haven't decided where to treat yet. I want to ask how the best treatment is and what methods are available. The key is that the child is too young.Doctor's answer:
Hello, that's the case. Down syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation, as it results from having an extra 21st chromosome, so this disease is classified as a genetic disorder. Currently, there is no cure for it. Additionally, pregnant women undergo screening for Down syndrome during pregnancy. If there are issues, further amniocentesis may be required. Therefore, many patients can be identified before birth. Currently, for patients with Down syndrome, symptoms can only be improved through postnatal training and rehabilitation treatments, but there is no way to completely cure it.
