Patient's question:
My aunt is pregnant. During her prenatal check-up at the hospital due to her advanced age, she was found to have an abnormality in chromosome 20, but she didn't have an abortion. Is everything okay?Doctor's answer:
In the case of someone like Auntie, if there is an abnormality in chromosome 20, generally speaking, babies with chromosomal abnormalities are not very healthy. Therefore, in such cases, it is usually recommended to consider induced abortion, as it would be better. If the baby is not healthy, it could affect the rest of their life, especially with chromosomal issues. Currently, there are no effective solutions or methods to address this.
