Answer
Trisomy Syndrome, also known as congenital idiocy, is caused by chromosomal abnormalities. As described, patients have irreversible intellectual disability, which cannot be improved even with early education. Clinically or in daily life, the intelligence of Trisomy Syndrome children usually declines gradually with age. It is important to actively conduct pre-pregnancy and prenatal screening to reduce the occurrence of this disease.
