Question
Dear Sir, Karyotyping report of my daughter is - BANDING TECHNIQUE-GTG BAND LEVEL -550,no of metaphase -10,KARYOTYPING abnormality, IMPRESSION-CHROSOMAL ABNORMALITY 21 TRISOMY. I want to does this karotyping report suggest that we should go for our i.e. parents KARYOTYPING or we should plan for next baby and go for amniocentesis & second stage USG and triple test of FOETUS to rule out genetic abnormality.
Answer
Since the karyotype does not show any translocation, there is no need to do parents karyotype. You may do triple test as well as amniocentesis/CVS in next pregnancy.
