Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of a third copy of all or part of chromosome 18. [3] Many parts of the body are affected. [ 3 ] Babies are often born small and have heart defects . [ 3 ]
Trisomy 18 — also known as Edwards syndrome — is a chromosomal condition that is fatal in all but very rare cases, Dr. Silvana Ribaudo, an ob-gyn at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University ...
Trisomy 18 typically results in life-threatening complications for a baby, but one little girl, Georgia, is proof of how one can live with it. Living with trisomy 18: How a 6-year-old girl is ...
The extra chromosome belonged to the E group of chromosomes which consisted of chromosomes 16, 17 and 18. The condition is now known as Edwards syndrome or trisomy 18 syndrome. [2] His original description incorrectly showed trisomy seventeen. In 1979, Edwards was elected to fellowship of the Royal Society.
Distal 18q-is a genetic condition caused by a deletion of genetic material within one of the two copies of chromosome 18. [1] The deletion involves the distal section of 18q and typically extends to the tip of the long arm of chromosome 18. [2]

This method can diagnose PKS in 10 week and older fetuses. In cfDNA screening, DNA from a mothers blood is extracted and screened for the presence of specific chromosome abnormalities such as those associated with the Down syndrome, Patau syndrome (also termed trisomy 13 [8]), and Edwards syndrome (also termed trisomy 18 [9]).
The next frequently involved are 9, 13, 15, 18, 20 and 22. [8] It has been observed that CPM involving the sex chromosomes usually has no adverse effects on fetal development. [9] The common autosomal trisomies (21, 18, 13) made up a smaller number of cases of mosaicism detected on CVS, but were more often confirmed in fetal tissue (19%). [3]
