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. Is there a chromosomal abnormality in the fetus, 131821 chromosome?Doctor's answer:
If after amniocentesis, a careful examination of the fetal chromosomes reveals abnormalities, it is recommended to take measures to terminate the early pregnancy as soon as possible. If there are abnormalities in chromosome 13, chromosome 18, and chromosome 21, it is certain that congenital chromosomal diseases will occur again in the future. Especially if there is a problem with chromosome 21, it can lead to Down syndrome, where the child will be born mentally retarded, which is a devastating and heavy shock for the entire family.
