Question
What is fetal chromosome abnormality, and what causes this condition?
Answer
Fetal chromosome abnormalities refer to anomalies in the number or structure of chromosomes within the fetus, which can lead to severe health issues and even miscarriage. These abnormalities may be caused by genetic mutations in the parents, age factors, or other environmental factors. Chromosome abnormalities can be diagnosed by tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling in the early stages of pregnancy. If an abnormality is detected, doctors can provide further consultation and treatment recommendations.
