What should be done about the abnormality of chromosome 15?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. What should be done about the chromosomal abnormality on chromosome 15?

Doctor's answer:

Chromosome 15 is a human autosomal chromosome. Chromosomal abnormalities can lead to hereditary diseases, and currently, there is no medical treatment to resolve them. If the disease is hereditary, there is also a chance of it being passed down through generations in future offspring. Currently, there is no mention of the impact of 15 chromosome abnormalities on overall health. For female infants, it may cause the quality of eggs to become abnormal again in adulthood, leading to a higher risk of infertility or miscarriage.
