Our son Matthew also lived longer than expected (full Trisomy 18). I am not
aware of others with children with Trisomy 17, maybe others on the list can
help with that...

Will be keeping you in my prayers.

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.
