Additionally, the life expectancy of neonates with trisomy 18 is extremely poor owing to various comorbidities. Therefore, it takes courage to ...
3 Trisomy 21 is viable in humans; however, trisomy 13 (Patau’s syndrome) and trisomy 18 (Edward’s syndrome) can survive to birth but die within the first few months of life. The viable trisomies share a few defects, including cardiovascular and craniofacial defects, intellectual disability ...
