Question

How to Better Prevent Down Syndrome?

Answer

Down syndrome is a congenital condition that may cause developmental abnormalities in a baby’s brain and appearance. The main prevention method currently is to conduct prenatal fetal screening, and further diagnosis is required if high risk is detected. If confirmed to have Down syndrome, the parents can choose to terminate the pregnancy to avoid the birth of a malformed child. Generally, healthy newborns rarely suffer from Down syndrome. Parents need not worry too much.
