Patient's question:
I would like to ask a few questions. What kind of disease is a chromosomal disease? When I was doing pre-pregnancy testing, I noticed that one of the detailed tests was a chromosomal test. At the time, I forgot to ask the doctor why it was necessary. I would like to ask if chromosomal diseases are genetic diseases?Doctor's answer:
Chromosomal diseases are genetic disorders, so during pregnancy, it is essential to undergo pre-pregnancy check-ups at the hospital and pay close attention to the chromosomal examination. If either partner has abnormal chromosomes, it can easily lead to the transmission of this disease to the baby, causing developmental delays and intellectual disabilities after birth. In severe cases, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
