Patient's question:
A friend's child has always been developing slowly, and their facial features look quite strange. The doctor said the child has Down syndrome. What kind of people are more likely to have babies with Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
That is to say, Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome in the body cells of the embryo during the formation of gametes in the meiosis of germ cells, or during the mitosis of the fertilized egg. The risk increases with the age of the mother, and various physical, chemical, and biological factors in daily life, as well as the mother's age, can all influence it. Down syndrome has a significant impact on children. Once a mother notices the symptoms of her child, she should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, she should pay close attention to her child's diet, recommending a light diet with less spicy and harmful foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
