We have a cat eye baby with xtra chr22, neither my husband or myself have the x-tra chr. Our geneticist explained that it happens at conception and may be a one time thing, something like 1 in 250 tho( my #'s may be off) but it seemed pretty rare. Our first little girl is fine and has no chromosonal problems but our second had multiple congenital defects caused by cat eye syndrome. Best of luck. Maybe you should request some genetic testing as well as some studies.

: I am looking for information on

: was told that the miscarriage was due
: to complete Trisomy 22. There was an
: additional 22 chromosome seen in each

: cell division? Looking for answers!
: Thanks, Beth
