PART B: Read case study below and complete the decision making model attached TO put yourself in her place.<\/p>\n
Martha Lawrence was very nervous when she went to the human genetics unit at the hospital. Her doctor had referred her because she was unexpectedly pregnant at age 41<\/p>\n
and she was at risk for having a child with Down syndrome. She was 18 weeks (4+ months) which would not leave much time for an abortion considering the results of the<\/p>\n
amniocentesis takes 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
Mothers of this age group have a 20 times higher chance of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality (one more, one less or other).<\/p>\n
Ms. Lawrence has had two other pregnancies that were normal. Her other children are 13 and 17. The genetic counselor, Dr. Gould, suggested an<\/p>\n
amniocentesis (removal of fluid from around the fetus) to determine the karyotype of the fetus.<\/p>\n
The test showed that the baby did not have an extra 21 chromosome and therefore did not have Downs. But the sex chromosomes showed an abnormal karyotype<\/p>\n
of XYY, Jacob’s syndrome. Review what you know about XYY syndrome.<\/p>\n
