Theresa:

Like many others you've heard from, I cannot help you with
information on Trisomy 17. I do understand what you are going
through living in the unknown.

My daughter was diagnosed prenatally with full trisomy 18 and
while we were told that she would not/could not survive, she
turned eight last March.

Do your research (what little there is to do) so that you are
informed. communicate your wishes with your doctors and
understand that they simply don't know. Cherish every day with
your baby. And know that we are here to support you however we
can.

It's a rocky road but I do believe that there are many blessings
to be found along the journey.

All the best,
Terre

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.=20

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.
