 A condition which the Center for Disease Control and Prevention defines as “a condition in which the person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how the baby’s body forms during pregnancy.”

Detection is prevention and many families want to find out in time about the possibility that their baby suffers from the syndrome in order to contextualize themselves about some of the characteristics that would differentiate their children from the rest, such as:

  • hearing loss
  • Obstructive sleep apnea, which is a condition in which a person temporarily stops breathing while sleeping.
  • Ear infections.
  • Eye diseases, such as cataracts, and eye problems that require glasses.
  • Heart defects present from birth.

It should be noted that these problems vary between patients, not all of them present them, but it is still very useful to be informed. Be sure to read the full article about it in our post: We tell you how to know that your baby will be born healthy. Good news!
