, b. Lots of detail in this answer, but we will likely need it later. Trisomy 18,
Edwards syndrome. These kids are small, don’t typically live past one year with
lots of issues. Didn’t look up much on this. Wasn’t in the book.
c. Trisomy 13 – Patau Sundrome – 1 in 5,000. Microcephaly, with midline defects
such as cyclopia, cleft lip, cleft palate.Sloping forehead, small easr, anopthalmia
or micropthalmia, micrognathia, and pre-auricular tags. VSD, ASD, TOF and
more hear defects. To test for this one, 17 week ultrasound is the best time to look
for it.

ptosis, short legs and 4th& 5th metacarpals, family is generally short in stature, hip
dysplasia, hearing loss. Bicuspid aortic valve, CoA (35%), pulmonic stenosis.

such as thumb, thenar and redial bone anomalies. Congenital heart lesions such
as ASD, VSD, and/or conduction issues. Can occur spontaneously but is
autosomal dominant. I have a feeling we are gonna have a question with a weird
arm x-ray and this will be the answer.

adjust plan accordingly.

more.)
