Title: Do the karyotypes of the parents help explain the occurrence of the three previ
Post by: mic2014 on Feb 22, 2014
A healthy couple with a history of three previous spontaneous abortions has just had a child with cri-du-chat syndrome, a disorder caused by a terminal deletion of chromosome 5. Their physician orders karyotype analysis of both parents and of the child. The karyotype results for chromosomes 5 and 12 are shown here.

Q: Do the karyotypes of the parents help explain the occurrence of the three previous spontaneous abortions?
