Patient's question:
A friend's child has been developing slowly and looks quite strange. The doctor said the child has Down syndrome. Who is more likely to have a baby with Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
That is to say, Down syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome in the embryonic somatic cells during the formation of gametes in meiosis 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 in her child, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. 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!
