PGD Test Results

Just don't tell Steve, okay?

embryo # XY 13 15 16 17 18 21 22 Interpretation

1 XX 2 2 3 2 3 3 3 complex abnormal

3 XX 3 1 1 2 2 1 2 complex abnormal

4 XY 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 NORMAL

5 X0 2 1 2 1 2 2 3 compex abnormal


#1 was a girl with trisomy 16, 18, 21, and 22
#3 was a girl with trisomy 13 and monosomy 15,16, and 21
#4 is the one that got transferred to me
#5 was a nothing I guess or a girl with only one X and trisomy 22 and monosomy 15 and 17

Trisomy 13 would miscarry.

Trisomy 18 is Edwards Syndrome (like Linda's friend's baby) in which about half die in utero, half of live-borns only live til 2 months and only 5-10% survive their first year of life.

Trisomy 21 is Downs Syndrome.

I checked Wikepedia for the other chromosones and it was WAY over my head.

Linda said...

And #4 was what sex?

That is intereting to find out though.

Terri said...

XY = BOY!!

Krista said...

Terri said...

Well, they WERE! look at the column headings! XY is the column heading for the gender genes.
