What is Trisomy 18?
Every life is precious, including those with Trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome. The extra chromosome may present physical and intellectual challenges, but it never diminishes the value of the individual. With appropriate care, those with Trisomy 18 can lead fulfilling lives. Seeking timely diagnosis and care ensures the best quality of life possible. Let’s celebrate the uniqueness of every person, and learn more about Trisomy 18 here…
