Question
How can you tell from a test result if a newborn has Down syndrome?
Answer
For newborns, children with congenital intellectual disabilities often have simian creases, which is what we refer to as Down syndrome and is one of the indicators for diagnosis. However, not all newborns with simian creases have Down syndrome. Moreover, during your pregnancy, you should undergo relevant prenatal checks. If there are any issues, this situation should be detected during prenatal checks, as generally, pregnant women would choose to terminate their pregnancy if they have such conditions. If your prenatal and delivery examination results are normal, I believe your child is definitely not suffering from “Down syndrome”.
