Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but she sometimes trembles. What should be done about chromosome 15 abnormalities?
Answer
Chromosome 15 is a normal chromosome in the human body, and chromosomal abnormalities indicate the presence of genetic diseases. Currently, there is no medical treatment available to resolve them. If there is a genetic disease, there is also a risk of intergenerational inheritance for future pregnancies. Currently, there is no evidence that chromosome 15 abnormalities affect physical health. For female infants, it may lead to abnormal egg quality in adulthood, increasing the risk of infertility or miscarriage.
