Edwards Syndrome
Edwards syndrome, or trisomy 18, is a genetic alteration caused by the presence of an additional copy of chromosome 18. It affects the development of several organs and systems from before birth.
Which specialist treats it? The geneticist studies and confirms the chromosomal alteration; the gynecologist provides care during pregnancy when it is suspected prenatally, and the pediatrician coordinates the baby's care after birth.
Possible characteristics: low birth weight, particular physical features, and alterations in the heart or other organs. Its expression varies from one case to another.
When to seek care? When a prenatal or pediatric study suggests this condition, an evaluation with genetics offers clear information to the family and guides support. The advice of a professional is valuable for understanding the picture and resolving doubts.
