Is it possible for a child to live with edwards syndrome?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Life is relative: Probably the majority of conceptions with this chromosome pattern will terminate early in pregnancy. Those that are born have a limited lifespan. Approximately 30% die by the end of the first month & 50% by the end of the 2nd. By a year about 10% remain with major medical & developmental problems.
