[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is up to you. I know you are AMA but I had a miscarriage at 30 and we tested the baby and it was a sex chromosome disorder - Turner's Syndrome (only one X). I think that is one of the more "common" chromosomal issues that lead to miscarraige as only 1% make it full term. I am not familiar with an Amnio so I don't know if it would detect this or not. there are other signs from what I hear if the baby makes it through the first trimester which the 20 week scan could detect - heart issues, webbed hands and feet, broad sholders etc. You have to decide what level of comfort you need. I do that the specialist have very high amino success rates but there is always a risk with it. [/quote] An amino would detect Turner Syndrome. With an amniocentesis, the lab looks at all of the chromosomes, so if there is an extra one (any trisomy), or a missing one (like in Turners), or a chunk missing, etc, they can see it. [/quote]
