Kayla seeks genetic counseling for muscular dystrophy and Emily seeks karyotype analysis for her pregnancy. Kayla's family has a history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The document provides a pedigree chart and questions about Kayla's risk of being a carrier and having an affected child. It also provides Emily's karyotype results and questions about the gender of the fetus and any abnormalities. A genetic counselor would provide information to Kayla about her carrier status and risk of passing on the syndrome, and to Emily about the gender and any abnormalities detected in the karyotype.
