1. Edward’s Syndrome By : GROUP 3

2. Edward’s Syndrome Edwards syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18 , is a chromosomal abnormality caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 18. Individuals with Edwards syndrome often have Overlapping fingers, Heart/lung abnormalities, Decreased muscle tone, clubfeet, Small physical size and low-set ears.

3. Edward’s Syndrome All humans have 46 chromosomes that divide into 23 pairs. Chromosomes carry your DNA in cells, which tells your body how to form and function as it’s instruction manual. When cells form, they start in reproductive organs as one fertilized cell ( sperm in males and eggs in females ). Cells divide ( meiosis ) to create pairs by copying themselves. The cell’s copy contains half the amount of DNA as the original cell, 23 chromosomes from 46, and each chromosome pair has a number.

4. Edward’s Syndrome This condition is associated with severe developmental delays, heart defects, and other organ abnormalities. Unfortunately, the prognosis for infants born with Edwards syndrome is poor, with many not surviving past the first year of life.

5. Edward’s Syndrome This condition is so severe that babies who survive being born are treated with comfort care. But Treatment for Edward’s Syndrome is unique for each child, based on the severity of their diagnosis. There’s no cure for Edward’s Syndrome.

6. Treatment for Edward’s Syndrome : Cardiac Treatment Assisted Feeding Orthopaedic Treatment Psychosocial support Children born with Edward’s Syndrome will need specialized care to address their unique symptoms immediately after they are born.

7. Edward’s Syndrome Edward’s Syndrome can affect anyone.This condition occurs when a person has an extra copy of chromosome 18, which is random and unpredictable. If a parent had a child with Edward’s Syndrome and becomes pregnant again, it’s unlikely they’ll have another child diagnosed with the same condition ( no more than 1% )

8. Edward’s Syndrome Edward’s Syndrome occurs in an estimated 1 out of every 5,000 to 6,000 live births. This condition is more common during pregnancy (1 out of every 2,500 pregnancies), but most ( atleast 95%) fetuses Don’t survive full term due to complications from the diagnosis, so pregnancies can 3nd miscarriage or babies are still born.

9. Edward’s Syndrome John Hilton Edwards He discovered Edward’s Syndrome in 1960 after researching a newborn with multiple congenital complications and issues with congnitive development. They reported their discovery and identified the condition as the result of a third cell attaching to a pair of chromosomes at chromosome 18.
