[tri-med] Re: BLOOD TEST RESULTS



>>>>>>>>T-18 is in the vast majority of cases a sporadic occurrence - it is
not
usually inherited. Inherited forms are usually easily picked up when they
actually see the child's karyotype. (the additional chromosome is usually
not in one piece and so they will look to the parents to see if they are
carriers of a balanced translocation)>>>>>>.

another much less accurate assessment is to look at family history, ie if
there were other babies that died early or had problems, I know this is not
exact, but I remember when Rebecca was born looking closely at family
history, apparently in Glenn's family there was a cousin of his father's
that was not quite right, and way back in my families history ( my maiden
name was Bonnar) a Bonnar married a Bonner, I was concerned that they were
related due to the only one letter difference in the spelling, My dad
assured me they were not ( distance of the families ect) the genetics people
did not feel that this was significant
