A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetic Counseling: If you have had 22q11.22 duplication testing it is likely that you have access to genetic counseling. Important to raise questions with the genetic counselor or geneticist (doctor who specializes in genetics) about percentages with Autism and other developmental delays with this particular duplication. Decisions about whether to continue the pregnancy should be made after thorough discussion.
