Warkany Syndrome 2 (trisomy 8)
Warkany syndrome 2, or simply "Warkany syndrome", is used by some authors when referring to chromosome 8 trisomy syndrome (Trisomy 8),. Complete trisomy 8 causes severe effects on the developing fetus and is almost always perinatal lethal. Trisomy 8 mosaicism is less severe and individuals with this condition are more likely to survive. Trisomy 8 is associated with a characteristic and recognizable pattern of developmental abnormalities. The type and severity of symptoms are dependent upon the location and proportion of trisomy 8 cells compared to normal cells.

Famous quotes containing the word syndrome:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
