Joseph,
My lab slip states that my chromosomes results were 47,XX,+ 22. There was an additional chromosome 22 seen in each metaphase. Would you say that is a Free Trisomy 22??
: 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.).
:
: 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.
: 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.

: Best wishes

: : Laura,
: I am glad that it worked out for you.
: Are you trying again? I am doing ok,
: the dr put me on Prozac and Effexer.
: They numb it a bit, so that I can get
: thru the day. I am seeing my
: therapist
: too. It is really scary, so I am
: trying to open my mind to other
: possibilities. My fiance and I have
: been discussing surrogate mother,
: sperm donor, and adoption. We are
: trying to get prepared for whatever he
: throws at us.
: Thanks for the kind words.
: Hugs

: : I am soo sorry! I know this is a
: really hard thing to go through and I
: hope you get some answers soon. The
: genetic counselor I saw said I should
: have no problems getting pg on my own
: and I hope you get good news as well,
: the next few day or weeks will be
: really hard, if you need to talk
: please
: feel free to email me.

: that I am having a dnc tomorrow to
: complete my third miscarriage. They
: are doing the biopsy this time, and
: they told me I may never have a baby
: of
: my own. Can you tell me abou this
: genetic counselor? Any info you guys
: have would be greatly appreciated.

: 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!
