A30 year old female is 25 weeks pregnant with twins. she has 5 living children. four of the 5 children were born at 39 weeks gestation and one child was born at 27 weeks gestation. two years ago she had a miscarriage at 10 weeks gestation. what is her gtpal?

The gtpal of a women is "G7 T4 P1 A1 L5."

Explanation:

GTPAL stands for. Gravidity: sum of periods the woman has been expectant (THIS INCLUDES CURRENT PREGNANCY, FAILURES, ABORTIONS and *twins/triplets count as one). Term Births: sum born (alive or stillborn) at 37 weeks gestation onward (*twins/triplets count as one) Gravida or gravidity defines the whole sum of complete pregnancies that a woman has had, irrespective of the consequence. Para or parity is definite as the sum of deliveries that a woman has had subsequently 20 weeks gestation.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
