Hello Holly, well said and thank you for sharing your thoughts about aneuploidy. You picked an interesting topic. National Down syndrome society (2012) states that Down syndrome is the most common genetic condition because one in every 691 babies in the United States is born with Down Syndrome. A person who is affected by Down syndrome has an extra copy of chromosome 21. I do not believe there is a treatment for aneuploidies, but early detection is possible. I am pregnant right now and my doctor highly recommended a blood draw called molecular cytogenetics/FISH for identification of prenatal aneuploidy such as trisomies. At first, I was hesitant to do the test, but I guess to prepare the expectant parents. You are right that everything happens
