Allen A1 - Rajkovic, Aleksandar PY - 2015 T2 - Practical Genetics for the Ob-Gyn AB - Case 1: Ms. Meckel is a 25-year-old whose first and only pregnancy ended in a full-term normally grown infant with a large skin-covered encephalocele. The infant died a few hours after birth which, she was told, was the result of undeveloped lungs. Her family history, as well as her husband's, is negative for a history of neural tube defects, or any other birth defects. Likewise, there is no history of early infant death in any family members. Ms. Meckel believes an autopsy was performed, but she has never seen a report, or been told the results of the autopsy. She would like to have a child, but is concerned about the risk she will have another child with the same condition. How would you counsel this patient?
