[tri-med] TRISOMY 17

Hello,
   I am a 36 year old women who is currently 20 weeks pregnant. After receiving 
an amnio I have since found out this baby has full Trisomy 17. The lab has 
tested all available cells they had and each and every cell has the extra 17th 
chromosome. I have been told by this hospital they have never had a single case 
of this. They also said they have not heard of a case where the baby has lived 
to 20 weeks. In addition the level 2 ultrasound showed heart problems, club 
foot, and problems with the back of the brain, and a 2 vessel cord. 

After searching the internet I can not find much information on this problem.

I am interested to know if any hospital or research facility has any additional 
information and can any additional research be done to maybe learn more about 
this, possibly to help someone else down the road. I thank you in advance for 
any help you may provide.
