Question
What diseases can chromosomal abnormalities cause?
Answer
Diseases that can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities include:
- Fetal Distress: During the birthing process, chromosomal abnormalities may lead to difficulties in breathing or distress for the fetus.
- Congenital Malformations: After birth, congenital malformations may be discovered, such as viral infections or umbilical cord detachment. These situations are quite complex, so chromosome testing during premarital checks can help prevent adverse outcomes.
