Patient's question:
Since we live in the countryside, we had a B, and it showed everything was normal. After the child was born, we noticed the child had a small head, a forward-slanting forehead, and small eyes. The doctor said the child has a chromosomal abnormality. I would like to ask what are the main symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities in children.Doctor's answer:
Diseases caused by fetal chromosomal abnormalities include over 3,000 different types. The symptoms of structural or numerical abnormalities of chromosomes vary, with the most common being Down syndrome, which typically presents with severe mental and intellectual developmental disorders. Trisomy 13 syndrome is characterized by microcephaly, developmental defects in the forehead and forebrain, small eyes, often with iris defects, a wide and flat nose, and malformations of the brain and internal organs. Based on the symptoms described above, the child is likely suffering from Trisomy 13 syndrome caused by chromosomal abnormalities.
