Patient's question:
Your friend's child is currently a few months old. Recently, they have suspected that the child is a bit abnormal. The doctor said that the child suffers from Down syndrome. They are quite worried, so they are asking, "How much does Down syndrome cost?"Doctor's answer:
21-trisomy syndrome, also known as congenital or Down syndrome, is the most common congenital defect caused by chromosomal abnormalities in children. By its name, the disease is a mental disorder with a special phenotype caused by congenital factors. In our country, the incidence of liveborn 21-trisomy syndrome is approximately 0.5‰-0.6‰, with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. 60% of children suffer from miscarriage in the early stages of fetal development. The main clinical features of children are mental disorders, poor physical development, and special facial features, and may be accompanied by various deformities. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease, and long-term education and training for children should be carried out. Preventing infectious diseases and various infectious diseases, using oral vitamin B6, r-tyrosine, folic acid, etc. as early as possible, can help improve function. Surgical correction can be performed on other deformities related to it.
