Mosaicism |
| Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention |
| Alternative Names: |
| Chromosomal mosaicism; Gonadal mosaicism |
| Prevention: |
| In the case of gonadal and chromosomal mosaicism, prenatal genetic counseling is available when amniocentesis reveals that two populations of cells are present in the fetus. However, it should be recognized that many many normal children result from prenatal karyotypes showing mosaicism, so it is important to discuss this with your obstetrician and genetic counselor. |
