What I've Learned..

Well I learned alot about my topic. Ever since we found out what my sister has, I started researching. And it has helped me understand things better. I used to think that she came out with that because of my parents. Which means that in a way I blamed them. Later, as time passed I read in the internet that it wasn't caused by parents.

I learned how T-18 is diagnosed, the characteristics, what it is, and the different types of Trisomy 18 there are. In most cases they are diagnosed prenatally. Throughout prenatal test, screenings, diagnostic test. Like most screening test indicate an increased risk for Trisomy 18, while diagnostic test indicate an actual diagnosis of Trisomy 18. They have their differences.
