Children Related Disorders

Children who have a related disorder such as partial, mosaic, or ring trisomy 13/18 can have complex disabilities, or they may have a much more hopeful prognosis. Some children with mosaic trisomy 18 are attending main stream education with a little extra support. One young man with mosaic trisomy 13 is  at university whereas another baby with the same condition did not survive birth. A young lady with ring trisomy 18 has had a successful heart valve replacement operation.
