    Edward Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra 18th chromosome which results in serious physical and developmental disabilities. It occurs in about 1 in 6,000 live births, with most affected individuals passing away within the first month due to complications affecting the heart, lungs, kidneys and other organs. While there is no cure for Edward Syndrome, support organizations provide resources and community for families impacted by the condition.
