    Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome, is a chromosomal disorder characterized by growth restriction before birth and multiple birth defects affecting organs like the heart. Individuals with Trisomy 18 often have a small head and mouth with overlapping fingers, and many die before or shortly after birth due to life-threatening medical complications. While rare, some children with Trisomy 18 live past their first year with severe intellectual disabilities.

    Trisomia 18 (Sindromul Edwards)

    Trisomia 18, cunoscuta de asemenea ca sindromul Edwards, este o anomalie


    cromozomiala. Se caracterizeaza prin afectarea mai multor parti ale corpului. Cei cu trisomia 18
    au adesea retard de crestere inainte de nastere (retard de crestere intrauterin) si implicit, o greutate
    redusa la nastere. In cadrul sindromului, apar de asemenea afectari cardiace, precum si ale altor
    organe, care se dezvolta inainte de nastere. (Affected individuals may have heart defects and
    abnormalities of other organs that develop before birth.) Alte caracteristici ale trisomiei 18 includ
    Other features of trisomy 18 include a small, abnormally shaped head; a small jaw and mouth;
    and clenched fists with overlapping fingers. Due to the presence of several life-threatening
    medical problems, many individuals with trisomy 18 die before birth or within their first month.
    Five to 10 percent of children with this condition live past their first year, and these children
    often have severe intellectual disability.
