Veronica,
My name is Jennifer and I just had a little girl with trisomy 22.11q. I'm wondering what to expect developementally from her as well as in the future. Anything you could tell me would be wonderfull as it sounds like you'r daughter is extremely well.
Jenn
: 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
