Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Posted May 17, 2006 Jennie... how many cells did they test? Of course..depending on the level of mosaicism.... the more cells tested, the better! Also, many families want to have a cheek scraping or tissue biopsy to do chromosome analysis... all of the different tissue types can have different ratio's... blood tends to " kill off " the abnormal cells faster, due to only the white cells having chromosome, and the white cells being part of the immune system...they're just doing their jobs! wether it's MDS, or any other chromosomal mosaicism... a blood test, or skin test, with at least 50 cells tested is ideal. ~ANGEL~ Mom to 13, Mosaic Down Syndrome/Hirschsprung's Disease Lance 17, Tyler 14, 11 Jaeda 10 and Shayne 3 Quote
