Re: Trisomy 9From: Allen Gardner (allen.gardner@utoronto.ca)Wed Jun 12 11:18:21 1996
Trisomy 9 is pretty rare. I wouldn't be inclined to suggest an increased recurrance risk, unless you believe that meiotic non-disjunction of one chromosome increases the risk of non-disjunction in others. This has been shown for chrom 21 but it hasn't been shown for other chroms. However I would offer MSS and have a thorough discussion of risks and benefits of amnio. I would make amnio and/or level 2 available but I think this would be a reassurance exercise. Allen. H.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
