Trisomy 18 occurs in approximately one in every 3,000 newborns
Yes - genetic disorders that involve whole chromosomes or large segments of chromosomes can be detected on a karyotype. An example of this would be Trisomy 21, or Down Syndrome.
i don't know, but i will figure it out
Here are two examples that result in 'early fetal death' - Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18. Meaning that when the normal [genetic] chromosomal complement is a chromosome pair, three copies of each chromosome are present and this is lethal.
Examples of such accidents are development of an extra chromosome 18 (trisomy 18) and Down syndrome.
There is no cure for trisomy 18
Trisomy 21 is Down's Syndrome. Trisomy 18 is Edwards Syndrome.
Most children born with trisomy 18 die within their first year of life

dominant
yes
My result of my ultrasound showed no soft makers. is this a good sign that my baby will not have trisomy 18.
Edward's syndrome
Edwards' syndrome
Trisomy 18 syndrome
No greater than anyone else, it is not hereditary nor is it anything that the parents may do or not do. It is purely the luck of the draw.
Raise the Down Syndrome child and love him or her. Love is the best medicne.
