How Common Is Down Syndrome?
Question: i am XXXXXXX but live in Australia jsut wanted to onow how common is down syndrome with babies with XXXXXXX i am 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant
Brief Answer:
Incidence data is lacking in developing countries like XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hi...I understand your concern. But in developing countries like XXXXXXX - accurate data is difficult to obtain. Precise data are difficult to collect, especially in developing countries, owing to great diversity of conditions and also because many cases remain un-diagnosed. The genetic and congenital disorder is the second most common cause of infant and childhood mortality and occurs with a prevalence of 25-60 per 1000 births.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
