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.

Will offspring have more or less chromosomes?

Normally, a mammal offspring will have 46 chromosomes, the same number as each of their parents; half of those chromosomes will come from each parent. However, there are mutations which can cause exceptions to this. For example, offspring with Trisomy 21, more commonly known as Down Syndrome, have an extra 21st chromosome (instead of the usual two--one from each parent). Mutations like this can have effects that range from mild to fatal.


Can a male with 48 chromosomes survive?

Is Edward's syndrome caused by a recessive gene?

Edward's syndrome is not technically recessive or dominant, because it is not caused by a single gene. Rather it happens due to a trisomy of chromosome 18 (or just of a part of said chromosome). Parent's may be healthy and still have offspring with the syndrome not because its recessive, but because the trisomy arises during meiosis of the gametes. Whatever happens to the gametes affects only the offspring not the carrier parent.

A trisomy is a condition in which a person has three copies of a chromosome instead of the usual two copies. A person can have full trisomy (three copies in every cell) or mosaic trisomy (three copies in some cells but not all).


Are there cases of trisomy besides down syndrome that can survive?

My son is 3 years old with full trisomy 18. I have some videos on youtube that I've put together with lots of trisomy families I've found on facebook. My awareness video is of over 100 surviving kids of trisomy 13 and 18. Just go to youtube and search 'trisomy awareness' or trisomy advocacy' and you'll find them. There is also a website called 'livingwithtrisomy13.com' that has stories of over 100 trisomy 13 kids on it. I, also, personally know of two kids with trisomy 8. So, yes, there are cases of kids surviving trisomies other than trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). :) Alisha Hauber
