Question
If a newborn is diagnosed with Down syndrome without undergoing a Down syndrome screening, what are the causes? Are there any treatment methods for this condition?
Answer
Hello, Down syndrome is caused by an open neural tube defect, which can lead to physical impairment in patients, including intellectual disability and functional impairments. It is recommended to maintain good living habits and take the child to the hospital for a chromosome test. If the chromosome test results show abnormalities, it can be confirmed as Down syndrome.
