Down syndrome / Birth Defects - Genetic

Down syndrome is a genetic condition that arises due to an extra copy of all or part of chromosome 21. Though Down syndrome cannot be cured and comes with a host of medical issues, people with the syndrome learn several skills during their lifetime. With proper medication, diet, training and care, many of them are capable of becoming independent and leading a normal life. With early health intervention, some individuals with Down syndrome are now capable of going for jobs and fending for themselves.

Karyotype test problem

My son born a month back is suspected to have Down Syndrome. we went for an ECG & found to be normal. Doctor' have adviced for Karyotype test. Blood sample has been taken two times by Ranbaxy lab persons, but every time they are telling that something called cell culture is not taking place. what can be problem? Now they are asking for 3rd time Blood sample. it is very pity for taking the blood of 1 month old for the 3rd time as his veins are still not showing up.
