| | Medical Genetics: Trisomy 18 & 13 |
 | | Families who have or have had a baby with trisomy 18 or trisomy 13 are particularly helpful and supportive since they have experienced many of the same questions and emotions. | | | Since trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 each have a unique group of characteristics, a physician may be able to determine simply by physical examination whether a baby has trisomy 18 or 13. | | | Decisions surrounding the care of an infant with trisomy 18 and 13 are difficult and personal. |

| | There is an organization called SOFT (Support Organization for Trisomy 18, 13, and Related Disorders) which is a group composed of parents who have children with Trisomy 18 and other related conditions, as well as professionals who have an interest in caring for children with those conditions. | | | Parents who continue a pregnancy with a baby with Trisomy 18 or who have a baby born unexpectedly with this condition have found this group to be a great support. | | | If a baby is born with Trisomy 18, decisions about care and interventions (such as heart surgery) will have to be made and should be discussed with your baby’s doctor. |

| | If a mother is known to have Trisomy 18, she may be monitored more closely for the baby's growth and offered a special ultrasound of the baby's heart. | | | It may be important for the couple to speak with a medical genetics doctor, a genetics counselor, pediatric cardiologist and other specialists, and often parents of babies with Trisomy 18, before the birth, so that they have an idea of what to expect when the baby arrives. | | | For example, it detects up to 65 percent of the babies with Trisomy 18 and Down's syndrome and about 80 percent of the babies with spina bifida. |

| | What is the Trisomy Listserv? |
| | The trisomy listserv is an e-mail based support group for families, friends and health professionals who share a common interest in the rarer trisomy conditions. | | | The reality is that no-one has any magical answers, there are no experts in the field of Trisomy and what works for one child may not apply to another. | | | Few doctors will possibly see and treat more than one child with a rare Trisomy in a lifetime therefore specific knowledge is limited. |

| | When a condition involves so many interdependent things, the variability can be just as complex. | | | Mosaicism is a condition where not every cell in a person's body has the same makeup. | | | By definition, a disorder is called a syndrome instead of a disease if it impacts multiple systems (muscular dystrophy for example impairs only muscle function though the effect can occur over the whole body).Syndromes like trisomy 18 impact skeletal, neurological, heart, and potentially many other body systems. |

| | The second reason that might be involved is called "penetrance."
