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 are the manifestations of children with chromosomal abnormalities?Doctor's answer:
Chromosome abnormalities can be caused by many factors, such as the age of the couple, the pregnant woman, the father, or the fetus exposed to radiation. These factors may alter the fetal's intergenerational inheritance pattern. The symptoms in children include: microcephaly, cleft lip and palate, capillary hemangiomas, polydactyly, thin forehead, microphthalmia, iris defects, corneal opacity, loss of smell, low-set ears, bent fingers, convex heels, right heart, umbilical hernia, hearing scars, high-pitched voice, and severe mental retardation. The vast majority of children die in early childhood.
