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. How can Down syndrome be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome is primarily related to some problems with the nervous system, so it is actually important to conduct timely screening in the early stages. In fact, screening for this condition can be done during pregnancy. If this disease is present, it may be necessary to consider induced abortion. In this case, early prevention efforts are not very effective, mainly because it is related to intergenerational genetic factors.
