Q: is edward's syndrome autosomal or sex-linked? dominant or recessive?

None of the above: Edward syndrome is brought on by an abnormality of chromosome numbers, specifically an extra 18. The abnormal egg with a single chromosome 1-17 & 19-22 + x has a pair of 18's. When the sperm brings a single chromosome 1-22 + x or y then the embryo ends up with 47 chromosomes rather than 46 in every cell.(3-18's) the excess distorts the organ building information & defects arise.

Q: what's the focus of support groups for edward's syndrome?

Trisomy 18 Support: Edward's syndrome is the result of a chromosome abnormality, namely trisomy 18. Support groups include resources and emotional support. Visit the trisomy 18 foundation for assistance.

Q: my friends baby died from edwards syndrome. what is that?

Extra chromosome 18: The edward syndrome, named after a researcher who reported the features in 1960, applies to babies born with all or most of an extra 18 chromosome. Half die in the first week & only 5-10% make it past 1 year of age. The extra chromosomal material is in every cell of the body and distorts the formation of major organ systems to the point that longer survival is impossible regardless of treatment.

Q: que ejercicio fsico es aconsejable a los 62 aos de edad.

Q: which is the cause, type of mutiaon and characteristecs of edwards and patuae syndrome?

Trisomy 13 and 18: Patau's syndrome (trisomy 13) – an extra copy of chromosome 13 is found in body's cells. Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18)- An extra copy for all or part of chromosome 13 is found many body cells.

Q: what is edwards syndrome?

Early Chromosome DX: Dr edwards reported of the features of trisomy 18 in 1960 in the british journal the lancet. Drs patau & smith reported it in the same journal edition but the name edward syndrome has stuck. This was soon after the methods for preparing & counting chromosomes was available in research labs starting in the late 1950's.

Q: how common is edwards syndrome?

Edwards Syndrome: Trisomy 18 occurs in about 1/ 5,000 live births. It is a chromosomal condition that usually is due to random events that occur while the eggs or sperm are forming &amp; isn't usually inherited. 5 to 10% live beyond 12 months. Jaw, mouth &amp; head are small, ears are low-set, sternum is short. May have heart defects, low birth weight, seizures, scoliosis, spina bifida, high BP, cleft palate &amp; lip, hea

Q: can edwards syndrome be inherited?

Edwards syndrome: Edwards syndrome is better known as trisomy 18. It is caused by imperfect division of the chromosomes with an extra chromosome ending up in the embryo. That process can happen to anyone.

Question 1

what is the mode of inheiritance for edward's syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Chromosomal: Edwards syndrome is usually due to trisomy 18 (extra copy of chromosome #18) that is an accidental occurrence with low recurrence risk (<1%) to the parents. Occasionally a translocation is found and the parents need testing to see if they have a balanced translocation (no symptoms) with higher recurrence risk.
