Patient's question:
The facial features have matched those of Down syndrome. I would like to ask what is the probability of having Down syndrome? Is it still necessary to undergo a chromosomal test?Doctor's answer:
Special facial features are one of the indicators for diagnosing Down syndrome.1. Special facial features are one of the indicators for diagnosing Down syndrome.
2. Based on your situation, the facial features and characteristics of Down syndrome are consistent. However, it is still necessary to undergo a chromosome test. Because facial features are only one manifestation and do not necessarily mean it is entirely due to a chromosomal abnormality. I recommend that you still have a detailed examination, and pay attention to rest more in daily life.
