Question
I had a prenatal examination during pregnancy and nothing was found wrong with the child. However, after birth, it was diagnosed as Down Syndrome. How much does it cost to treat Down Syndrome?
Answer
Down Syndrome is a disease caused by congenital genetic mutations. Currently, there is no effective treatment method, and symptoms can only be improved through rehabilitation. Therefore, it is very important to undergo Down Syndrome screening during pregnancy. If the screening shows a high risk, an amniocentesis may be required for further confirmation. It is recommended to undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
