Hi - My daughter is a carrier of Trisomy 22 with a 11/22 translocation. She has a Trisomy child now 10 and miscarried 7 yrs. later but now has a healthy 3 yr. old. Good luck & keep finding out info.
: From what I have been told Trisomy 22,
: like Trisomy 18 and 13, is a fluke
: that can happen at any point in cell
: division from fertilization on (mosaic
: versus non-mosaic). If it was not
: caused by a translocation of
: chromosomes, neither you or your
: husband would be a carrier. Just a
: fluke. Although your chances of having
: another affected child are greater
: (even though still very small).
:
: On the other hand if the Trisomy was
: caused by a translocation of
: chromosomes either you or your husband
: could be a carrier. If they thought
: this was the case my guess is they
: would have tested.
:
: I am surprised that your physician did
: not offer to have you meet with a
: genetics counselor. I would request a
: meeting to discuss your circumstances
: since every case differs.
:
: Hope this helps.

: I am looking for information on
: Complete
: Trisomy 22. I have recently miscarried
: for the second time in six months. I
: was told that the miscarriage was due
: to complete Trisomy 22. There was an
: additional 22 chromosome seen in each
: metaphase. I have two healthy
: children, are they carriers of this
: gene as well? For this rare
: abnormality to occur, do both my
: husband and I have to be carriers? Any
: answers would be great! Could this
: have occured during fertilization or
: cell division? Looking for answers!
: Thanks, Beth
