Dear Gina
<< i was wounding if anyone did this or not , test there other children ,>>
Yes Gina, a lot of people do get their children tested. I dont know how it
works with mosaic trisomies. Usually full trisomies are not inherited.
Partial trisomies can be inherited, this is called a translocation. But
this is not always the case. Im really not sure if mosaic trisomies are
likely to be inherited or not, Im sure Karen or Jim will have stats for this
however.
Personally I havent been tested becuase Connor has a full trisomy which is
unlikely to be inherited. However, if I was planning on having more
children, i think Id probably have a test done just in case.
Hope this helps.
Demi and COnnor
