A member asked:
My first child has a downsyndrome is it possible that my next future children will have down syndrome if i will get pregnant with the same guy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Traditional 21 trisomy has a cited recurrence risk of 1%, regardless of the male. If the child has a variant form of DS caused by a translocation, the risk is much higher.This can all be worked out with a genetic counselor.
