Question
What diagnostic procedures should be carried out to confirm a diagnosis of Down Syndrome?
Answer
The diagnosis of Down Syndrome typically begins with a Down Syndrome screening, which provides a risk coefficient rather than a direct diagnosis. Parents should work with their doctors to conduct further tests to assess the risk of the condition. If the risk is high, more precise tests such as amniocentesis may be recommended. The doctor will provide professional advice based on the test results. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and undergo appropriate treatment under the guidance of their doctor.
