Is it possible in both families-the brother?s and the sister?s family to have a baby with trisomy 21? What needs to be done and is it possible to give birth to a healthy child in such a case? So the first generation and the second (the brother and the sister mentioned above) are completely healthy (not carriers also). The brother has 3 kids: healthy male and female and affected daughter. The sister has twins-girls (dyzigotic) who are affected.

One factor that increases the risk for having a baby with down syndrome is the mother's age. Women who are 35 years or older when they become pregnant are more likely to have a pregnancy affected by down syndrome than women who become pregnant at a younger age. More contact with me on line.
