If a miscarriage is most often the result of chromosonal abnormalities would it be wise to have genetic testing done the next time you become pregnant?
Many women miscarry, as many as one in four, but it is usually a one off and they will go on to have a healthy baby. Providing you don't keep miscarrying (and there are many reasons for this beside a chromosomal abnormality) don't worry about it. If you do repeatedly miscarry you may be referred for genetic testing, but that is just one of the tests which will be done.

Most serious problem associated with the inversion of genetic material?
Chromosomal defects in offspring. Because no genetic material is lost with inversion of genetic material, individuals often have no obvious physical effects. The major risk with the inversion of genetic material is that offspring of these individuals may have more severe chromosomal abnormalities.
In humans the risk of passing on a genetic disorder to offspring can be assessed by?
You could make a pedigree which could identify carriers of a genetic disorder and individuals with the disorder. You could do blood tests to determine whether a person carries a gene for a particular genetic disorder. You could make a karyotype to determine whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.
What are genetic materials that cause cancer?
Abnormalities of the genetic materials are the only known cause of cancer. Errors in DNA replication and heritability of the genetic diseases are the cause of cancer during birth stage. Excessive ultraviolet radiation, any harmful infectious agents, tobacco smokes or chemicals are responsible for the abnormalities of genetic materials. Genes which promote cancer are called oncogenes. They are activated in cancer Cells. Tumor suppressive genes are not activated in the cancer Cells. For that reason programmed cell death and hyper active division and growth of Cells cannot be prevented. Inaccurate DNA replication, irregular Cell cycle, damaging the immune system are the major symptoms of cancer.
What is the difference between genetic defects and chromosomal abnormalities?
Those terms are synonymous - but genetic defect is more likely to be used to describe a physiological deformity that results from genetics, whereas a chromosomal abnormality might not produce a visible deformity.
Why are chromosomal translocations often not a problem?
Because if the same amount of genetic material is present, then the individual has all the correct material for normal development. In this case it is called a "balanced translocation" or BT. If there is extra genetic material (duplications) or of some of it is missing (deletions) then the individual most often has problems relating to physical and/or mental development. This is known as an "unbalanced translocation" or UBT. Duplications and deletions of genetic material also often result in miscarriage of the embryo. If the embryo survives, it very often has severe complications. So in cases of repeated miscarriage, it is important for the parents be be tested for possible chromosome issues.
What is the risk of getting pregnant at age 40?
increased risk of miscarriage and genetic diseases
Can squeezing your stomach lead to a miscarriage?
No, squeezing your stomach does not lead to a miscarriage. Miscarriages are typically caused by genetic abnormalities or health issues in the mother. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for accurate information and guidance during pregnancy.
Can X-Ray exposure cause abnormalities like Down syndrome?
Down syndrome is caused by a genetic abnormality in Chromosome 21. It is highly unlikely that X-Ray exposure causes genetic abnormalities such as this. However, X-Rays are not recommended while pregnant.
Are genetic defect associated with abnormalities of autosomes or of sex chromosomes?
Genetic defects can be associated with autosome and chromosome abnormalities.
What happens to the zygote that is monosomic?
A monosomic zygote has one less chromosome than normal. This can result in genetic disorders or developmental abnormalities. Most monosomic zygotes are not viable and typically result in miscarriage.
What can cause a miscarrage?
The most common cause of miscarriage is genetic (or chromosome) defects in the baby. This means that the baby was not developing properly and would have had severe problems with abnormalities after birth. According to people who do research on these things, lots of women have what they thought was a late period, but really was a very early miscarriage.
Is Huntington's disease caused by 3 chromosomes of the 21st pair?
page 314 Huntington's disease is lethal GENETIC DISORDER caused by a rare dominant allele. It's not a chromosonal disease, it is a genetic disorder. D
Which process is least associated with producing genetic abnormalities?
Meiosis is least associated with producing genetic abnormalities, as it is a specialized cell division process that reduces the chromosome number by half, ensuring genetic diversity and maintaining genetic stability in the offspring.
Can dogs get abortions?
Yes. When a dog or cat is taken in to be spayed if the animal is pregnant the Dr. can either "take care of the babies" and proceeded with the surgery or sew her back up and complete the pregnancy.
How are women with genetic or hormonal abnormalities treated for primary amenorrhea?
If women have genetic or hormonal abnormalities, amenorrhea is often treated with oral contraceptives that contain combinations of estrogen and progestin.
What has the author Murray Feingold written?
Murray Feingold has written: 'Normal values for selected physical parameters' -- subject(s): Genetic Technics, Genetic aspects, Genetic aspects of Human abnormalities, Genetic counseling, Human Abnormalities, Syndrome 'Genetics and birth defects in clinical practice' -- subject(s): Dictionaries, Human Abnormalities, Syndromes in children
How many different types of chromosomal abnormalities are there?
There are several types of chromosomal abnormalities, including deletion, duplication, inversion, translocation, and aneuploidy. These abnormalities can lead to genetic disorders and abnormalities in human development.
