Answer 5

0.5%

Question 6

If either parent are the carrier of a homologous robtrans, what is the risk of an abnormal liveborn child?

Answer 6

13;13 - very low risk of trisomy as most spont ab. Trisomy rescue is a possibility, but realistically this is incredibly rare.

14;14 - very low risk of trisomy as all spont ab. Trisomy rescue is a possibility, but realistically this is incredibly rare. If Trisomy rescue occurs, there is a risk of UPD14.

15;15 - very low risk of trisomy as all spont ab. Trisomy rescue is a possibility, but realistically this is incredibly rare. If Trisomy rescue occurs, there is a risk of UPD15.

21;21 - very low risk of trisomy as most spont ab. Trisomy rescue is a possibility, but realistically this is incredibly rare.

22;22 - very low risk of trisomy as all spont ab. Trisomy rescue is a possibility, but realistically this is incredibly rare
