Trisomy 18 and 13
What are trisomies?
The term trisomy is used to describe the presence of three chromosomes, rather than the usual pair of chromosomes.
Trisomy 13
Trisomy 13 occurs when a person receives an third chromosome 13, instead of two. Trisomy 13 occurs in approximately 1 out of 5,000 live births and causes multiple abnormalities that are often not compatible with life.
Trisomy 18 is a chromosomal disorder of aneuploidy associated with a high rate of spontaneous loss and early infant deaths, mainly due to central apnea in the first week of life.

trisomy 18
Edwards' syndrome or trisomy 18 is a chromosomal abnormality, which is more severe and less common than Down's syndrome.
trisomy - having three copies of one chromosome, rather than two copies.
trisomy 13 - the presence of three #13 chromosomes, also known as Patau syndrome.
trisomy 18 - the presence of three #18 chromosomes, also known as Edwards syndrome.
Trisomy 21-See Down syndrome.
Tuberculosis-This is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs and can cause a very serious and very contagious pneumonia. Some pregnant women are tested for tuberculosis.
Trisomy 21 - Also known as Down Syndrome, this congenital defect is the most common chromosomal abnormality. This birth defect occurs when the child receives duplicated information from chromosome #21.
trisomy 21 (Also called Down syndrome.) - the presence of three #21 chromosomes in each cell of the body, rather than the usual pair, which causes the features otherwise known as Down syndrome.
Also known as Trisomy 21, Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder. This syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra number 21 chromosome and can cause various problems. Some infants with trisomy 21 are stillborn.

Down syndrome (trisomy 21)
A disorder characterized by mental retardation, flat facial profile with protruding tongue, poor muscle tone, excess skin on neck, slanting eye openings (slanted palpebral fissures), abnormal pelvis, and short stature.

Many babies with trisomy 18 are stillborn before the end of pregnancy. Of those who are born alive, around half survive the first month of life, and 10% live to one year of age.

Trisomy: a cell with an extra chromosome. There are various types of trisomies depending on which chromosome is affected.
Of these cases about half are caused by Trisomy 21, also referred to as Down Syndrome.
Low progesterone levels. The hormone progesterone is necessary for maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Insufficient levels may result in miscarriage.
Edwards' syndrome (trisomy 18)
A devastating condition caused by an abnormal number of chromosomes. Normally, people have 46 regular chromosomes (23 pairs) and two sex chromosomes (1 pair).

Currently, AFP is also being combined with measurements of estriol and HCG levels to screen for Down's syndrome and other chromosome abnormalities like trisomy 13 and trisomy 18.
I have a Trisomy 18 baby girl, who is actually 3 months old today. I knew nothing about the condition until we had her, and she was eventually diagnosed after several apnoea episodes.
Standard Trisomy 21 occurs because either the egg or the sperm that joined together to produce the baby was carrying the extra chromosome.

An AFP test can also be done as part of a screening test to find other chromosomal problems, such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) or Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18).
The most common condition associated with an abnormal chromosome number is Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21. Children with this condition are mentally retarded and may have serious abnormalities of the heart and digestive system.

It also can reveal multiple births. Based on test results, your doctor may suggest other tests to diagnose a disorder.
When used together as first trimester screening tests, nuchal translucency screening and maternal blood tests have a greater ability to determine if the fetus might have a birth defect, such as Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or trisomy 13.
