Patient's question:
I and my husband went to the hospital for a prenatal examination before trying to get pregnant. The detailed check-up results have now come back. The doctor told me that there are some abnormal conditions in my 13th chromosome. I would like to ask what happens if there is an abnormality in the 13th chromosome?Doctor's answer:
If you find that you have an abnormality in chromosome 13, you should consult a doctor in a timely manner and adopt targeted measures. If chromosome 13 abnormalities occur repeatedly, it can easily lead to a child developing Bartholomew's syndrome, which may result in severe conditions such as recurrent cleft lip and palate, anterior brain development disorders, and congenital heart disease after birth. Therefore, it is essential to undergo prenatal examinations.
