Children with missing chromosomes fail to develop certain substances needed for brain cell function and/or brain cells, which cause their specific symptoms.
Although that is one of many possible problems in chromosomal abnormalities, it is not always or most of the time the case. There are thousands of chromosomal abnormalities and multiple of thousands associated problems. The best thing is to have your doctor refer you to a geneticist to discuss the specific chromosomal anomaly and give you the known to date associated conditions. In this matter, you can provide the best treatment by anticipated monitoring.
