Anyone hear of trisomy 2?

KISSIES

Hi Girls I decided to call nurse to see if genetic results were back from my D&C. They were she said there was abnormality 3 of chromosome number 2. I've never heard of it and neither has the nurse. She was going to call the Dr. as we dont' know if it's one of those fluke things or if it's something DH and I need to be tested. I've tried googling it not much info and I'm going nuts waiting to hear back from her!

I haven't heard of it on the 2nd Chromosone before, however in our last round we did IVF w/ PGD testing and found 1 embryo w/ trisomy and 1 w/ monosomy (I can't remember which chromosones they occurred on though).  I know trisomy is a randomly occurring thing though.

Trisomy is just a simple screw up in the meiotic division process and it can happen for ANY one chromosome, or less commonly, an embryo can even have triploidy where there are three of EVERY chromosome.  (Or even less commonly than that is quadriploidy where there is four of every chromosome.    We just "hear" of 18 and 21 more often b/c they are the ones that a fetus can sometimes continue to grow in utero with, where as most fetii with trisomies self terminate.

Thanks girl nurse never called me back. I know sometimes you can have eggs or sperm that give off 2 of a chromosome instead of one. My friend found that sometimes it can be a fluke thing or passed on from one of us.
