OMG I just found out I have a balanced translocation (??) of chromosome 10
- Thread starter hibiscus07
- Start date
I also have just been diagnosed with trans-location of chromosomes 2 and 5 - its a tricky situation because we don't know if we will be able to have children yet! We are meeting with a genetics specialist on Monday to find out - I hope they have some answers!! Fingers crossed!!
Its good to hear others success stories - thanks for posting!!

I have a translocated chromosome too...
I was orginally diagnosed with Turners Syndrome and told I would never have kids... roll on many years and a random test showed I had an underactive thyroid, went on pills and 6 months later was pregnant... 2 m/c later and I am now pregnant for the 3rd time and finally am seeing a Genetic Consultant and he has said I don't have Turners I have a translocated Chromosome.
One of my X's is missing a piece and a bit of inert Y had attached to it where it is missing... They say that my options are:
female - normal
female - like me, small, blood and lung problems and carries dodgy chromosome
male - normal
male - severe learning difficulties (autisim), skin problems, poss eye problems
But are adamant that it is not this bad X that is causing the m/c's
All I know is it looks like I will m/c this one too (2 scans so far, both not good).. so something must be wrong!

Well the specialist has said we have a 90% chance of having a healthy baby, so we are very relieved!!! Just need to get pregnant again now! Although there is still the waiting for 12 weeks before we will know for sure if the baby is ok. I think we can handle it! Fingers Crossed!

Wow they are fantastic odds for a translocation. Will have my fingers crossed for you
Mrs. Eshaw and janie,
I have a balanced translocation of y 13-14th chromosomes, which I inherited from my mom. To date, I have had 3 natural MC's and 2 IVF/PGD cycles. I have O children!
I am 29 years old and have no problem getting pregnant, but I have an issue with my eggs. I just finished my 2nd IVF/PGD cycle at Brigham and women's, and I,m really disappointed with my experience. I wanted to see if you ladies had any success with your IVf/ PGD cycles? Did you also do ICSI?
My reason for asking is that my 1st IVF/PGD cycle ICSI was highly recommended to ensure that more eggs fertilized. I produced 33 eggs, 20 fertlized and 4 were healthy. I put back 2 and ended up with a chemical pregnancy.
My experience with B and Women's was alot different ,I produced 24 eggs, 9 fertlized and 0 were healhty. I am so upset that even though we signed off to do ICSI if need be. They did not do it, and we only ended up with 9 egg for the PGD testing. They cancelled our ET.
I was just curious to what your experiences were and how your cycles went.
I am sorry that this is an issue for us ladies, and I hope you have both had luck.
thanks.

Jill,
I am so sorry that you have had such a rough time.
Janie and I have too. It's not fun!
Neither of us is pregnant yet, I did 3 cycles, and Janie has done I think 4 now.
We both left Brigham and Women's they are terrible. It's a long story as to what happened with me, so i'll not go into it.
You should go to Boston IVF and see Dr. Raley ASAP. He is amazing!

Can I ask you ladies how you got tested . . . ?
I have only had one miscarriage but do not want to go ahead with IVF without having any tests to show that there was or wasn't a casue for the miscarriage.

I was just reading through this thread and thought that I would post with some relatively happy news to give those with balanced translocations hope.
I just discovered that I have a balanced recipricol translocation of 2 and 7. I have no learning problems or apparent physical abnormalities. I have been pregnant 3 times and have delivered 2 completely healthy little boys. I am currently pregnant with a little girl and, because a single umbilical chord artery (SUA) was discovered at my 18 week ultrasound, I had an amnio (something I had not had before). The amnio revealed that the baby had a balanced translocation of 2 and seven. 2 weeks and more genetic testing later, I learned that I have the same balanced translocation. I am hopeful that this pregnancy will result in the birth of a little girl who, like me, has no health or mental issues. Outside of the SUA, there appears to be no problems with the child (SUA is commonly related to in utero growth ******ation which results in a need for early delivery. It is considered a "soft genetic marker")
Therefore, I stand as proof that, at a minumum, someone with a blanced translocation can naturally conceive - in their 30s, mind you - 2 healthy children and one hopefully healthy child. (I had not miscarraiges) Knowing that I have this translocation, I might opt for a non-natural conception in the future but... at least I know it can turn out positively -- that might offer some solice to those who posted and could not afford or did not have access to IVF, etc.
For what it is worth: Below is the information I have been given by my genetic counselor -- I cannot vouche for its accuracy except that many of the statistics seem to be replicated in literature found on the internet and in a genetic counseling book I was able to check out at the local univeristy library:
* 1 in 625 people have a balanced translocation
* Having a blanced translocation increases the risk of having a child with an unbalanced translocation
* A healthy adult with a balanced translocation - male or femail - is at greater risk of producing offspring that end in miscarraige
* If the woman has a balanced translocation there is a greater chance that the baby will have an unbalanced translocation as opposed to if it is the man with the balanced translocation
* All children of someone with a balanced translocation should be tested even if they appear to be fine because they are at greater risk of, in the future, having children with unbalanced translocations.
* If you have a balanced translocation, your children do not necessarily inherit it
* If a child has a de novo balanced translocation there is approximatley a 6% chance of there being something "wrong" with the child -- that something can be as minor as a slighty short pinky to as major as mental ******ation and severe physical deformity
* a child with the same balanced translocation as its parents has a much smaller risk (2%, I think she said) of having anything be "wrong" with it
* Unbalanced translocations are at much greater risk of sever physical or mental problems.
I hope that this information is at least a little helpful. I know that I found this whole process very scary and am keeping my fingers crossed that my little girl will not have any adverse effects from the balanced translocation she has apparently inhereted from me.
Best of luck to you all...

1 in 84 people have this. Mine are the 7 and 11. Don't loose hope. I had four pregnancies and two live births. My boys are ten and seven. Just hang in there. You can do a lot if tests early in pregnancy to see if it is unbalanced.
Good luck to you and keep the faith!
