Trisomy 18: Clinical Insights and Familial Decisions is a comprehensive collection of scholarly articles that delves into the complexities of Edwards syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18. This curated anthology covers a wide range of topics including clinical management, prenatal diagnostics, molecular biology, and ethical dilemmas. Readers are introduced to poignant case studies, such as a five-month-old infant with mosaic Trisomy 18, shedding light on the syndrome's variable presentations and associated complications. The book also explores advanced diagnostic technologies like non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and semiconductor sequencing platforms, highlighting their role in early detection. Molecular studies provide insights into genomic instability and the challenges of understanding the condition at a cellular level. Furthermore, the collection emphasizes the emotional and ethical decisions faced by families and clinicians, underscoring the need for compassionate and nuanced care plans. With chapters dedicated to long-term survival cases and reviews of major gastrointestinal malformations associated with Trisomy 18, this book serves as a vital resource for medical professionals, geneticists, and families navigating the complexities of Edwards syndrome.
