- Fragile X syndrome What is the prevalence of the trait or disorder? two paragraphsarrow_forwardA couple decide to have a child. They require and select a suitable sperm donor who they understand to be blood group AB and rhesus +ve. The carrier of the baby is blood group A and rhesus –ve. However, when the baby is born, they discover that the baby’s blood group is O rhesus +ve. Worried that there has been a mistake they ask for a DNA test, which confirms the sperm used was indeed that of the donor. Further DNA analysis of the carrier of the baby shows that she has isoagglutinogen alleles IA iO, while the baby is actually IB and IO.

She tells the doctor of this family history. This is her first pregnancy, although they have been trying for several years. 4 SEP 26 The doctor advises Kanesssha to have a maternal serum marker (blood) test, called "triple-test", instead of amniocentesis, because she is under age 35. The triple test is so-called because it measures levels of 3 substances (alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin, and a form of estrogen). The doctor tells the couple that the test is only a 'screen', and can detect up to 60% of Down syndrome cases that are caused by and extra chromosome 21. Kaneesha gives birth to Nathaniel, who has Down syndrome, but his karyotype does NOT show a trisomy.
