Question
Which groups are more prone to chromosomal abnormalities?
Answer
Chromosomal abnormalities may be caused by genetic factors, changes in the process of embryonic development, or long-term exposure to harmful substances. People who are more susceptible to chromosomal abnormalities include those with a family history of genetic diseases, those with growth and development disorders, individuals with intellectual disabilities, those with multiple congenital malformations, those with primary infertility and sterility, those with primary menopause, as well as patients with severe oligospermia or azoospermia. Among these groups, some may not exhibit obvious symptoms themselves but may face issues of infertility or recurrent miscarriage.
