[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This genetic counselor is either (1) covering her ass if you decide to sue in the extraordinarily unlikely event of a second spontaneous genetic defect or (2) incredibly doom and gloom. I would see someone who can talk to you like a person. The odds of this happening again are pretty astronomical. If you don't have a familial trait, you are pretty much in the clear. Yes, genetic defects do not show up in a CVS/amnio. Neither do things like autism, cerebral palsy, stroke, or many other disabilities.[/quote] Patently untrue. It is absolutely possible to have the same genetic problem twice even with neither parent having it. Called "gonadal mosaicism" I think - one parent has the mutation just in their eggs or sperm, but not in bloodstream. Apparently very common with the most common type of muscular dystrophy, and with some bone diseases. Chances in this case are certainly low, but it would be silly to say zero. [/quote]
