In a search for novel genes on chromosome 18 (HC18), on which several regions have been linked to bipolar disorder, we applied exon trapping to HC18-specific cosmids. Among the 1138 exons trapped ...

Non-invasive prenatal screening is one of the great success stories of genomics research. Now, a new NHGRI study has found that extending noninvasive prenatal screening to all 24 human chromosomes ...

She founded the Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society, a support and resource group, in April 1990. The vision: identify families, secure medical records and collect data through surveys.

The most common type, full trisomy 18, occurs when an extra chromosome is present in every cell of the baby’s body. Partial trisomy 18 is when part of an extra chromosome 18 attaches to another ...

Children with trisomy 18 (also sometimes called Edwards syndrome) have three copies of chromosome 18 instead of two. Human beings have 22 pairs of regular chromosomes (called “autosomes”) and ...
