Question

My child has been developing slowly and looks physically different from others. They have been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Can this disease be cured?

Answer

Down syndrome is a genetic disease caused by chromosomal rearrangement, characterized by intellectual disabilities and specific facial features. The condition has no cure and may be accompanied by other diseases, increasing the risk of early death. Treatment for Down syndrome should be carried out by professional medical personnel, and parents should avoid self-medicating and closely monitor their child’s health status to ensure appropriate medical care and treatment.
