A member asked:
Can you have a child with the physical characteristics of edwards syndrome but not have any chromosomal abnormalities?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Some of the physical signs of edwards syndrome are non-specific, that is, shared by other syndromes, with or without chromosomal abnormalities. No one sign is diagnostic, and several signs could be present in a child with normal chromosomes and without its having edwards syndrome.
