Well I saw at least one baby with t18 that opened her hand after birth and I know she did because I was trying to take picture of her clenched fist :). I also have seen picture of another T18 doing the same. Now that does NOT mean they keep their hands open, indeed the predominant position is clenched. But I prenatal diagnosis all is possible.

So i guess the predictive value of an open hand is somewhat less than demonstrated in this article.
