What's Down syndrome

summary

Life is always impermanent. To be alive is the best. What else do you have to complain about all the time. There are also reasons why there are such feelings. Now many people will get sick, which we certainly know, and not only adults but also children will get sick. Take this down syndrome. This disease, also known as Down's syndrome, is the first chromosomal disease to be identified. 60% of the children died early in the fetus. The survivors had obvious mental retardation, special face, growth and development disorders and multiple malformations. Let's take a look at the following.

What's Down syndrome

First: maybe we don't know much about Down's syndrome. Then I'll give you a more detailed introduction. Down's syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal diseases and the first confirmed chromosomal disease. "Down's" is usually congenital moderate mental retardation. It is characterized by severe mental retardation, IQ is mostly 20 ~ 60, only 1 / 4 ~ 1 / 2 of the normal people of the same age.

Second: after reading some of my simple descriptions above, I believe you have a little understanding of this disease. What kind of circumstances are prone to this disease? Generally speaking, the older the mother is, the higher the risk rate is. The recurrence risk rate of standard Down's syndrome is 1%. The parents of children with translocation should carry out karyotype analysis in order to find balanced translocation carriers.

Third, we should not be afraid of the above reasons, because this disease can also be prevented. For example, during pregnancy medication to be careful, to consult a doctor, must not be good at their own medicine, in order to prevent fetal malformation. In the high incidence period of chickenpox, do not go out, do not contact with patients with chickenpox, and do not contact with patients with serious genetic diseases, which may lead to Down syndrome in the fetus.

matters needing attention

In addition to the above need to pay attention to, pregnancy to avoid electromagnetic radiation, cooking, home induction cooker, electric cooker, electric kettle, electric cake, etc. will have a strong radiation force, often this use can lead to fetal chromosomal mutation in the abdomen, the formation of children with Down's syndrome.
