No Behavioral or Environmental Causes
According to various research, there are no behavioral or environmental causes that can cause Down syndrome. Many parents get surprised if their child is diagnosed with a Down syndrome, which can sometimes lead to feelings of confusion or guilt about whether this condition might have been prevented. However, many external factors like smoking, drinking alcohol, consuming an unhealthy diet, or being exposed to toxins are not considered to be responsible for Down syndrome. This condition typically occurs at conception. That concludes that any decisions made during pregnancy don’t lead toward its occurrence. However, these external factors may affect other areas of developing embryos during pregnancy, so parents should still care.
