Edward syndrome is rare in live births in comparison to most common Down and Patau syndromes. The estimated incidences are one in 6000 live births and interestingly 70 to 80% those affected are females. The occurrence of double aneuploidy involving XXY + 18 is very rare in live born however, most of cases are available with spontaneous abortions. Here, we report a 07 day a male infant with typical features of Edward syndrome such as microcephaly and low set of ears having mosaic double aneuploidy with Klinfelter syndrome.
