What do 13 chromosomal abnormalities mean?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up yesterday, and the doctor said the child has thirteen pairs of chromosomal abnormalities. I felt it was quite terrifying to hear this. If the baby is born with defects, it would be a specific harm to the baby itself and to our family. What do several pairs of 13 chromosomal abnormalities indicate? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify your doubts. The most common one is Wilson's disease. Chromosomes are the carriers of genes, and chromosomal abnormalities, known as chromosomal disorders, can lead to abnormal gene expression, resulting in abnormal growth and development of the body. Chromosomal abnormalities are often associated with the recurrence of certain diseases or the reappearance of deformities. The basal ganglia disorder is characterized by a brain degenerative disease. It is an autosomal recessive, copper metabolism disorder, which causes liver cirrhosis due to copper metabolism disorders. I hope my explanation brings you help, and wish you good health. It is recommended that you pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life, eat more fruits and vegetables, participate in outdoor activities appropriately, and enhance your immunity.
