Patient's question:
My child is one year old this year. The doctor said it's necessary to screen for Down syndrome. Why is it necessary to screen for Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
When children are found to have some abnormalities, it is necessary to examine them. Why do we need screening for this disease now? Because the incidence of this disease in the general population is 1800, and routine examination methods such as ultrasound cannot detect the disease in a timely manner. If the child is born without other serious complications, they may live to be 30 to 40 years old. It will bring serious consequences to the family and even to society.
