Is Husband Having Chromosome 11:12 Translocation Cause Problem In Pregnancy?
10 weeks pregnant with twins and I was told today from my OB that my husband does have a chromosome 11:12 translocation, his mother has 11:19 translocation and I have tried to find out what issue this may cause me. My doctor did say I will have to have amniocentesis in Jan at 16 weeks

Hello,
I appreciate your concern for your baby and i would suggest you to go for amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling done, because chromosomal abnormalities in the form of translocation can be affected to your baby also, as it is a genetic material and baby contains half of your chromosomes and half of your husband's chromosomes. so my advise to you is go for chorionic villi sampling and do karyotyping.
You can ask me directly after getting your reports done, so i can guide you further.
