A member asked:

I have a balanced translocation of chromsome 1 and 9 with break @ 1q12 and 9 q12 i had one m/c at 5 weeks im now 6 weeks preg, could this baby be healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes but: There are several possible outcomes with the fetus with your set up. If your normal chromosomes 1& 9 or the balanced 1& 9 are in the egg, you fetus can be normal but may carry the trans-location. If a normal 1 is paired with the trans-located 9 or or normal 9 with abnormal 1, you will have a deletion set up.This fetus is likely to have significant problems if it survives pregnancy.
