Patient's question:
The child next door is already ten years old this year. The child is very particular about diet, but the child is not very healthy. I want to ask the doctor, if the child suffers from Down syndrome, what is the meaning of a 21-trisomy syndrome risk value of 1?Doctor's answer:
The screening for Trisomy 21 syndrome is generally required to be performed with careful examination during the fetal period. With a risk of 1,380, although it is below the critical or cutoff value (which is typically 1,250 or 1,350), the risk you mentioned, with a Trisomy 21 syndrome risk value of 1, is considered a high risk. This child was only diagnosed with Trisomy 21 at the age of 10. You can choose to go to the hospital for further careful examination.
