Patient's question:
Divorced for two years with no children, had a miscarriage four years ago, and an ectopic pregnancy a year ago. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the results showed 46,XX, LAH+, inv(9) 1st chromosome. How is this abnormal? How should I answer? If you want a child, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Chromosomes are carriers of genetic material, representing the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and nucleoprotein during cell division. In normal humans, somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes, each with a specific morphology and structure. Abnormalities in chromosome morphology or number are termed chromosomal abnormalities, and the diseases caused by these abnormalities are called chromosomal disorders. Over 100 different chromosomal disorders have been identified. In clinical diagnosis, chromosomal disorders often lead to miscarriage, congenital Down syndrome, congenital multiple malformations, and cancer.
