Can babies with abnormal chromosome 16 be kept?

Patient's question:

My wife got pregnant, and during the prenatal check-up, we discovered that the baby had an abnormality in chromosome 16. We are very worried and have been consulting experts everywhere. Can we keep the baby with a chromosome 16 abnormality?

Doctor's answer:

Prenatal check-ups are an important step in prenatal diagnosis. There are many different situations regarding chromosomal abnormalities, and the condition you described is not particularly clear. It needs to be clarified what kind of abnormality the 16th chromosome is. If it is trisomy 16, it is recommended to terminate the early pregnancy. It is recommended that you seek professional genetic counseling. Maintain a good routine and increase physical exercise during the day to enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
