Patient's question:
Child development is slow, and the facial appearance looks very strange. The test results show Down syndrome. How long is the average lifespan of people with Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome implies a series of genetic disorders, among which the more representative trisomy of chromosome 21 can lead to severe deformities including learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and disabilities. Basically, there is no additional treatment method. Decades ago, when circulatory complications made surgical treatment infeasible, the average life expectancy of patients was only about 20 years. Now, if treatment is implemented on the deformities of the second-level neurons, patients can maintain a healthy state, and the average life expectancy has been extended to about 50 years. Additionally, early nurturing care is beneficial for the patient's growth and development. If treatment is insisted upon, refer to the methods for mild intellectual disability, but the effect is not significant! Down syndrome is very harmful to children.
