Edward's Syndrome has no cure or treatments but patients usually use Palliative care which is a type of supportive care that works to improve the quality of life for people with serious illnesses.
Edward's Syndrome is very rare, there are fewer than 20,000 US cases per year. About one pregnancy in every 400 is diagnosed with Edward's syndrome. Children with full Trisomy 18 typically do not live more than a few months. Most children with Edward's Syndrome are females, in fact about 80%.
