Question
I had a Down syndrome screening during pregnancy, but it still wasn’t detected. Now the baby born is a Down syndrome sufferer, and the baby is now two years old. Are there any good treatment methods available?
Answer
Babies with Down syndrome are born with congenital intellectual disability, and there are currently no effective treatment methods in China. It is recommended to avoid such situations during pregnancy as much as possible. Stem cell transplantation may be an option, but it does not guarantee a cure. For more conscious children, special education can be provided to cultivate their self-care abilities. However, severe cases require long-term care by parents.
