What are some things i should know about edwards syndrome?

Trisomy18.org: It is a genetic disorder due to an 'extra' chromosome 18 (three, instead of two). I highly recommend you speak with your personal physician about this if you need further information. However, there is a foundation at www.Trisomy18.Org which can be quite helpful.

You'll need support: When egg & sperm meet, their chromosomes split so 1/2 of dad's & 1/2 of mom's can join. The chromosome 18 in either egg or sperm divided unequally, & part or all of both chr.18's paired up with one chr. 18 from the other parent. A full or partial trisomy, (3 chr. 18's, ) occured by accident. Abnormal formation of the heart & other organs, intellectual disability & unusual facial features result.
