congenital anomalies
what causes congenital anomalies?
genetic, non genetic, or both
result of an abnormal gene taking up residence on one of the 22 pairs of nonsex chromosomes
autosomal inherited condition
occurs when only one gene of the pair has the ability to produce symptoms, thus making it power over the normal gene
dominant inheritance
what chance does a parent have of transferring a dominant inheritance gene
50%
abnormal genetic makeup must have genetic errors on both of the genes of the pair
autosomal recessive inheritance
what chance does a parent(s) have of transferring a recessive inheritance gene
25%
fluid sample from the amniotic sac between the 15th and 18th week of pregnancy
