Definition

Triploidy is a rare chromosomal anomaly, polyploidy, characterized by early in utero growth restriction, and multiple birth defects, including neural tube defects, facial abnormalities, cleft lip/palate, congenital heart anomalies, genital malformations, and peripheral skeletal abnormalities. It is usually prenatally lethal. [from ORDO]
