Episode 6: Bethan Roberts

In this episode we will hear from Bethan whose daughter Florence has been diagnosed with Mosaic trisomy 8,  a chromosomal abnormality that can affect many parts of the body. In individuals with mosaic trisomy 8, some of the body's cells have three copies of chromosome 8 (trisomy), while other cells have the usual two copies of this chromosome. Children with trisomy 8 mosaicism have a characteristic and recognisable pattern of developmental abnormalities which can include moderate to severe learning difficulties, variable growth patterns and many musculoskeletal, visceral, and eye abnormalities.
