Patient's question:
Balanced translocation, discovered in October 2015Doctor's answer:
You and your spouse should get your chromosomes checked. If either of you has a balanced translocation, you must keep this child because it is your good fortune. The chance of a couple with a balanced translocation having a completely healthy child is 1/18, and the chance of having a child with the same balanced translocation as the parents is also 1/18. The remaining 16/18 will naturally miscarry around 60 days. Generally, it takes the third or fourth child for a couple to have the aforementioned 2/18 children. Some people are lucky and have their first child without ever knowing they have a balanced translocation.If your chromosomes are fine, then I suggest you have the child. Because balanced translocations do not affect the child's appearance and only affect fertility. There is now third-party IVF that can screen for good eggs or sperm. When the child grows up, this technology will become even more advanced, and it may not be a problem anymore. A little suggestion.
