Can children with chromosomal abnormalities survive?

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. Can children with chromosomal abnormalities survive?

Doctor's answer:

This requires looking at which specific chromosome abnormality is present. If it is due to many polymorphisms, it is usually possible to preserve it. If there are many abnormalities, it may lead to chromosomal issues that cause deformities or abnormal growth and development, which cannot be guaranteed for the child. Since you have already had a face-to-face consultation, the doctor believes that if the chromosomal abnormality cannot be preserved, you should follow medical advice, as these deformities may affect the fetus's growth and development.
