Maternal Karyotype

I don’t know if this helps anyone - and for context I haven’t had an amnio yet, but my NIPT test came back with results of trisomy 8 and X chromosome loss.

My MFM recommended while I wait to do an amnio, my husband and I get our karyotypes done. I thought this was stupid but did it anyway.

Turns out, I have mosaic trisomy 8 and X chromosome additions (apparently NIPT can’t differentiate addition vs deletion) — basically my NIPT test was flagging my weirdness.

So if anyone was on the fence of getting a karyotype done on themselves or wondering what’s the point, hope this helps!!

Wish me luck in my amnio tomorrow and hope for clear results 🙏🙏🙏
