[quote=Anonymous]Why is there even a question if you would get the amnio. I get that nobody wants to do it just for fun, but this is a really really good reason to do it. There many be serious health implications you need to know about. Get to a genetic counselor as well. Standard karyotype and/or microarray may not be testing for all the right syndromes (i.e. things associated with ambiguous genitalia). Meanwhile, also get carrier screening at a lab with a big panel (Counsyl, Sema4) and make sure it includes 21-OH congenital adrenal hyperplasia as that is a very common cause of this. That way, if the amnio needs to test for that, you will have a head start in identifying any mutations. Make an appointment with a genetic counselor for this today![/quote]
