Patient's question:
My young nephew has been diagnosed with Down syndrome for more than half a year. He has spent a lot of money on treating this disease and suffered a lot. How can Down syndrome be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question. Down syndrome, also known as congenital or Trisomy 21 syndrome, is the most common congenital defect caused by chromosomal abnormalities in children. As the name suggests, this disease is a mental illness with a special phenotype caused by congenital factors. The main clinical features of children with this condition are mental disorders, physical underdevelopment, and distinctive facial features, and it may be accompanied by various deformities. Currently, there is no complete cure for Down syndrome patients. They can only receive early treatment and have an interest in enhancing their self-care abilities through training.
