Patient's question:
What are the clinical manifestations of Down syndrome? My sister currently has Down syndrome, but her body doesn't have other complications mainly intellectual disability and ADHD. How can we treat Down syndrome better now?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, congenital idiocy syndrome, or Down syndrome, is a birth defect disease caused by chromosomal abnormalities in autosomes. Its main clinical manifestations include intellectual disability, physical retardation, and facial features. Cell genetic examination for hidden children typically involves taking 2-5 milliliters of fasting peripheral blood, stopping the use of antibiotics one week before blood collection, and performing karyotype analysis. This disease is influenced by intergenerational genetic factors from parents. Currently, human medicine cannot alter these factors.
