Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I have a 2 year old daughter with CHARGE. She wasn't diagnosed until recently. I am currently pregnant with twin boys and when I was 7 weeks pregnant we started doing a significant number of genetics test to find out if my daughter Taliah actually had a syndrome or just a number of different issues. Finally, when I was about 12 weeks pregnant she was diagnosed with CHARGE. Genetics expedited the dna sequence test to see if she had CDH7- she did. They had saved my amniotic fluid to test for this in the twins if Taliah had tested positively. They also expedited this test and tested the boys and fortunately, they do not have it. I would recommend it - even though the chances of having 2 CHARGE kids is very low - anything is possible and it definitely gave me peace of mind. --------------------------------- Moody friends.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Tammy, When did you have the amnio - at the usual 20 week mark? I didn't know they could do it earlier?

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Hi, My daugther was tested at 13 months (blood test). She had a micro deletion on CHD7 gene. Both me and my husband got tested subsequently. we done have that. I am pregnant now (17 weeks). Just this week - 4 days back, i got an aminio, waiting for the results. Though the geneticist said - our recurrence risk is very low. but still it is better to get tested. Rita > > Tammy, > > When did you have the amnio - at the usual 20 week mark?
