[tri-wings] Re: Trisomy 17 Missdiagnosis was wrong autopsy results revealed

Sometimes, it's just due to the cells that they randomly collected.  
Theoretically, they should get the same results regardless, but the 
results can be off if they took a smaller sample.  Do you know how many 
cells they read?  For Arily, they read 50 for the FISH, 50 for the full 
chromosome analysis and 50 cells from her placenta and cord.  They all 
gave different results.
They don't know how or why mosaicism occurs.  There are theories, but 
sometimes, our babies like to throw a spanner in the works and give 
results that don't fit with the theories they have.  My baby girl had 
three very separate cells paths on the FISH test, they can't figure out 
how that happened.  I was like you, I gave up trying to find information 
about having two separate chromosomal disorders in one baby, none have 
ever developed a heartbeat to anyone's knowledge, Arily was the first 
that all three companies that completed the testing had ever seen.  
Every time they get a unique and special baby, like your little boy, 
they can learn a little more why we have to go through this. I'm so 
sorry that you had to lose your baby boy, but I'm glad that you have 
gotten some answers.
