A member asked:

If i had balanced translocation involving chromosome 21, would taking clomid (clomiphene) increase my risk to have a ds baby or it has nothing with the risk?

Not related: That's a good question, by the way. Clomid (clomiphene) does not alter or increase the risk of any congenital anomaly over the baseline risk. Good luck.
