Based on Baby G's low nasal bridge, epicanthal folds, and protruding tongue, it is likely that Baby G has trisomy of chromosome 21, colloquially known as Down syndrome (Rogers, 2022). What are the risk factors present that put Baby G at increased risk for this congenital condition? Mrs. G's age creates an increased risk for Down syndrome: Rogers states that the risk for Down syndrome increases after age 35, and Mrs. G is 37 (2022). Mrs. G's gestational diabetes could also have contributed to a higher risk of congenital abnormality in Baby G (Kinnunen et. al, 2023) Which lab test would you order to confirm your suspicions? I would order genetic testing, specifically a karyotype, to confirm my suspicion of Down syndrome for Baby G. What additional testing would you recommend for Baby G? 40%-60% of children with Down syndrome have a congenital heart defect; therefore, I would recommend a focused cardiac exam, 12-lead EKG, and 2-D echocardiogram for Baby G (Siyah et. al, 2024). I would also test Baby G's levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) to rule out congenital hypothyroidism, given that Mrs. G had poor control of her hypothyroidism during her pregnancy; it is important to test Baby G in the first 48 to 96 hours after birth to prevent a false positive result (Nallagonda et. al, 2023)
