Trisomy 15 questions

I'm 27 years old and recently had two miscarrages.  While the reason for the first one was undetermined, the reason for second one was Trisomy 15.  Can you tell me more about this genetic desease?  Could it have been prevented? What are the chances that the same thing hapens again when I get pregnant?  And finaly would you recomend Genetic Conceling?

Thanks in advance for the input!

Here is a link with brief information:

I don't know the chances for recurrance, but I would think your OB would be the person to ask if a genetic consult would be advised.  It couldn't hurt to get one, in any case.

Good luck.
