Needing some insight: Trisomy ??? *TW*

I don't have any insight, but I am so sorry for your loss. {{{hugs}}}

I did find this on a rare diseases site:

"In many cases, Chromosome 4, Trisomy 4p is due to a balanced chromosomal rearrangement in one of the parents. In most instances, the parental rearrangement is a “balanced translocation.” Translocations occur when portions of certain chromosomes break off and are rearranged, resulting in shifting of genetic material and an altered set of chromosomes. If a chromosomal rearrangement is balanced, meaning that it consists of an altered but balanced set of chromosomes, it is usually harmless to the carrier. However, such a chromosomal rearrangement may be associated with an increased risk of abnormal chromosomal development in the carrier’s offspring."


Maybe you can ask your OB to refer you to a genetic counselor to discuss the odds of it happening again?

Again, many, many hugs!!
