Its Smith's Recognizable Patterns of Human  Malformation. Smith himself is 
now dead (he died in in 1981) but the book  continues to be revised 
regularly. It lists all recognizable syndromes,  including many of the rarer 
trisomies.

Smith's is usually what  doctors photocopy and give to parents when they 
first discover the  trisomy. Which is NOT good. Smith's is a medical text and 
lists all 150  odd problems associated with the trisomy and their rate of 
occurence. But  for someone in shock it makes it sound like every baby has 
every possible  problem.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those
