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:
“[T]he syndrome known as life is too diffuse to admit of palliation. For every symptom that is eased, another is made worse. The horse leech’s daughter is a closed system. Her quantum of wantum cannot vary.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
