Question

What are the treatment and prevention methods for a child with Down syndrome?

Answer

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by chromosomal rearrangement. As of now, there is no specific treatment available. The main preventive measure is to undergo prenatal screening and, if necessary, prenatal diagnosis to take appropriate actions. It is recommended to send children with this condition to a regular hospital pediatric specialty department for treatment to improve the cure rate and enhance the quality of life.
