Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What should be done if there is a chromosomal abnormality in the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Chromosomes are the carriers of genetic material. If there are abnormalities in chromosomes, it can lead to various diseases. Chromosome abnormalities can also be caused by multiple different reasons. There are several types of chromosome abnormalities, and their clinical manifestations are also very complex, with varying prognoses. Most chromosome abnormalities are accompanied by intellectual and developmental delays, as well as growth and development retardation. General treatment is often difficult and has limited effectiveness. The main focus should be on prevention to reduce the occurrence of such abnormalities at birth.
