Question
What are the approximate treatment costs for Down Syndrome? Can this condition be cured? What causes Down Syndrome, is it a chromosomal variation in the parents or in the child itself?
Answer
Down Syndrome is caused by chromosomal variations in the parents and is currently incurable. As for the treatment costs, due to differences in hospital levels and locations, the specific amount is difficult to determine. It is recommended to consult with hospitals that have the ability to provide treatment first. Patients with Down Syndrome often suffer from intellectual disabilities. If they receive special education, there is a chance to cultivate their self-care abilities, but they still mainly rely on family care.
