Patient's question:
The child was just born, and it felt a bit deformed, so we quickly went for a thorough examination. We discovered that the child had Down syndrome and was experiencing chromosomal abnormalities, which made us very worried. We wanted to start treatment as soon as possible. What are the causes of chromosomal abnormalities in Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome, also known as congenital idiocy, is a disease that is usually screened for during pregnancy. This means that the probability of a baby being born with this disease is very low unless the mother did not undergo the relevant careful examination during pregnancy. There are many reasons that can cause chromosomal abnormalities leading to Down syndrome, such as the mother being exposed to X-rays, frequent computer work, frequent mobile phone use, or contact with harmful substances in daily life, all of which can cause chromosomal abnormalities.
