Treatment: As we know, genetic disorders can not be cured, but there are many treatments doctors can do to help with the symptoms and effects of Trisomy 18.
For sorts of physical abnormalities, doctors can perform surgeries
If feeding is a problem, the child may need to be fed through a feeding tube
If limb abnormalities are affected a child's movements, they may need supportive treatment such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy
For infants that suffer constipation (caused by poor abdominal muscle tone) can be treated with special milk formulas, laxatives and anti-gas medications.
For other sorts of problems, they may need specialized care in a hospital
Cure: As mentioned before, there is no cure for Trisomy 18, but there is always new technology being used to help with the process of diagnosing and treating chromosomal disorders. For example, a technique known as massively parallel shotgun sequencing (MPSS) was used to analyze cell-free DNA from the mother's plasma for fetal conditions that are used to detect trisomy 18 and other disorders. This uses a noninvasive test on maternal blood and with new algorithms for analysis, scientists can detect (with a high degree of accuracy), the risk that a fetus has for having chromosomal abnormalities.
