What is the height of the full-term sample?

Patient's question:

Boy, born weighing four and a half jin and seven liang, height of forty-seven centimeters, discharged due to hypoglycemia, normal thyroid function, brain CT normal at six months, chromosome 46/Y, 16h plus, slow development, now seven and a half months old, has been sticking out his tongue since full moon, almost no hair growth, right hand palm print

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Based on your description, it appears that the child has a chromosomal defect, and it is estimated that the child's intelligence may differ from that of a normal child. Persistent rehabilitation training can help the child get as close to normal as possible. It is too early to determine if they are short at this time. Over 85% of full-term infants can catch up to the height of normal children within 6 to 12 months. At least what kind of children may not catch up, and most of them cannot even be tested at this stage. At this point, the main focus should be on whether there are any abnormalities in intellectual development. It is best to check for thyroid hormones. If there is congenital hypothyroidism, treatment will affect intelligence after more than 4 months. Please buy some books on children's health care and pay attention to proper feeding.
