Patient's question:
I am currently trying to conceive. Previously, I had a thorough pre-pregnancy check-up at the hospital. During the chromosomal examination, there were no issues, but I was very surprised. What types of chromosomal diseases are there?Doctor's answer:
There are many types of chromosomal diseases, all of which are genetic diseases. Genetic diseases can be either dominant or recessive. Dominant genetic diseases manifest shortly after birth, and it is possible that they may not recur after the child is born but could reappear in the next generation. Examples include allergic rhinitis, congenital cataracts, night blindness, glaucoma, multiple pregnancies, and Down syndrome (21), all of which are chromosomal genetic diseases.
