Question 1

my  wife 's blood report shows some signs of trisomy and she is in 20th week of pregnany .is this is always evedential that this will affect the baby?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: If your wife had a quad screen with increased risk for fetal trisomy 21 or 18 then it is not  diagnostic and a targeted fetal ultrasound should help modify her risk. If she had maternit21/harmony testing of fetal dna in the maternal circulation and found trisomy 21, 13 or 18, then it is virtually diagnostic and merits invasive prenatal diagnosis even if ultrasound is normal.

Question 2

i'm a 36 year old woman pregnant with my first child. my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage - trisomy 23. should i get a cvs test?

Accepted Answer

Personal decision: Cvs is helpful if you think you would want end the pregnancy in the first trimester based on the results and for genetic counseling for future pregnancies.  If you don't think you would end the pregnancy, you may want to consider waiting until your second trimester to get an amniocentesis, it is lower risk and will still give you the genetic information you are looking for.
