Question

I had a Down screening during pregnancy, but it still didn’t detect it. Now, the baby born is diagnosed with Down Syndrome, and the baby is already two years old. Are there any good treatment methods?

Answer

Trisomy 21, also known as congenital or Down Syndrome, is one of the most common birth defects caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The disease primarily manifests as intellectual disabilities, poor physical development, and distinctive facial features, and may be accompanied by multiple malformations. Currently, there is no complete cure for Down Syndrome. However, early treatment is very important for the child, as they can enhance their self-care abilities through training.
