In which two conditions are Intellectual disability and fetal miscarriage.
chromosomal abnormalities the Chromosome abnormalities are the leading
leading known cause? known cause of intellectual disability and
fetal miscarriage.
What are three examples of Chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis,
prenatal diagnostic studies? and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) are
examples of prenatal diagnostic studies and
are performed in vitro. CVS is a form of genetic
testing that provides genetic information found
in utero and is usually performed between
weeks 11 and 14 of pregnancy. An
amniocentesis is a form of genetic testing
,that evaluates amniotic fluid and is usually
performed during the second trimester,
between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy.
PGT is performed on the embryo prior
to implantation.

of a zygote having one describes the cry often heard from a baby

Since females have two copies of the X
chromosome, the mother may provide an
unaffected X to a daughter or son.
Furthermore, a daughter may not show signs
of the disease because she has the other X

female) to cancel it out.
