Chromosome 13 or 18 defect

My friend went to her ultra sound appointment and was told that there is a 1 in 5 chance that her his has this defect. The Dr. also said that it was a terminal condition, with the baby exprected to survive may a few hours after birth. It was recommended that she have an amniocentisis. She is unsure what to do as she doesn't feel good about having an amnio due to the risks. She is 36 and is 14 weeks along. Does anyone know anything about this condiditon?
