Patient's question:
Originally, my wife gave birth to a son, and the whole family was very happy. However, after the doctor conducted a thorough examination, they said the child had abnormal chromosomes. What should we do about chromosomal abnormalities in such a young child? I vaguely remember studying biology, and chromosomal abnormalities can easily lead to defects or congenital diseases. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, chromosomal abnormalities are relatively common in clinical diagnosis, including Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, and Patau syndrome. If prenatal diagnosis is performed through amniocentesis during pregnancy, it may require early pregnancy termination. If chromosomal abnormalities are detected after childbirth, this is often associated with congenital idiocy. Currently, there is no effective technology to treat chromosomal diseases.
