Symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy

summary

Chromosomal abnormalities can lead to a lot of situations, which are not conducive to pregnant women themselves and the fetus, so we still need to cooperate with prenatal examination to avoid all terrible situations and symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms of chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy

Chromosomal abnormalities can lead to miscarriage, fetal death and deformity. Even if the child is born, the appearance of normal development will also have abnormal chromosomes, this genetic defect can not be solved with drug treatment.

Can lead to some diseases, such as Down's syndrome, such as children with low intelligence, heart defects, also such as Turner's syndrome, patients are generally short and unable to get pregnant. If there is chromosome translocation in parents, although they will not be affected, their children may have "abnormal" chromosomes.

In addition to Down syndrome, other chromosomal dysplasia include Patau syndrome, trisomy 18 syndrome, criduchat syndrome, fragile X syndrome, ring chromosome syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, colpocephaly syndrome, Williams syndrome, Prader Willi and Angelman syndrome, Rett syndrome, etc.

matters needing attention

Chromosomal abnormalities will not only affect themselves, but also affect their children's later life, so we must avoid giving birth to children with chromosomal abnormalities. It is better for women to give birth at the right age, not to become elderly mothers. Because the later a woman gives birth to a child, the more likely her child is to have Down's syndrome, so not only should she be checked regularly when she is pregnant, but those couples who have not yet given birth should have genetic counseling.
