[ Post a Response | Trisomy 22 and Misc. 22 Interest Board ]
Posted by Joseph From the genetic point of view trsiomy 22 may be basically in two forms: free trisomy 22 (karyotype 47,XX,+22 or 47,XY,+22) or trsiomy 22 as a result of translocation. Best wishes Joseph --Previous Message--

Most embryos with full trisomy 22 do not survive, but there is a small number of reports of complete trisomy 22 in the newborns. Usually such children have very serious defects. There is no treatment except treatment for symptoms (for example, heart surgery for heart defects, etc.).
If embryo or fetus has free trisomy 22, it is a new mutation practically with 0 risk of recurrence. If trisomy 22 is caused by translocation, risk will depend on the karyotype of the parents. Because you use term "trisomy 22" without cytogenetic formula, I can't give precise conclusion for the families who participate in this discussion. You can contact me personally, if you want.

: I have been having recurrent
: miscarriages
: and with my last miscarriage we decided
: to do some genetic testing. The
: results came back that there was an
: extra 22nd chromosome. I am meeting
: with a genetic counselor next week, but
: I was wondering if any of you could
: give me some insight as to what I
: should expect. I have a two yo son
: now, whom other than being small is
: perfectly healthy kid. I am so scared
: thay this maybe something that affects
: him and was wondering if I would have
: already noticed anything that was wrong
: or if maybe there are things that show
: later in life.
: Thanks!
