Abstract
Trisomy of the 18th chromosome, also known as Edwards syndrome, occurs in 1:5000 live births. It is accompanied by low birth weight, low-lying ears, micrognathia, flexion contractures of the fingers, hypotonia, structural heart diseases as well as anomalies of other organs, and severe psychomotor retardation. Unfortunately, only 5 to 10% of children live to the first year.
