Trisomy 13, or Patau syndrome, is a genetic disorder that affects the development of a baby. Learn about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) is a rare genetic condition when an extra copy of chromosome 13 attaches to a pair of chromosomes. Symptoms affect how the face, brain and heart develop, along with several other internal organs. Trisomy 13 symptoms are life-threatening and many cases result in a miscarriage or the baby passing away before turning 1. Trisomy 13, also called Patau syndrome, is a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities in many parts of the body. Individuals with trisomy 13 often have heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, very small or poorly developed eyes ( microphthalmia ), extra fingers or toes, an Trisomy 13 is a serious genetic condition. It is also sometimes called Patau syndrome. It can cause many different symptoms that are most often life-limiting. Not all babies with trisomy 13 will have the same differences or challenges. Some common things that can be caused by trisomy 13 include: Heart problems; Brain and/or spinal cord problems Patau syndrome, also called trisomy 13, is a clinical syndrome that occurs when all or some cells of the body contain an extra copy of chromosome 13. It is characterized by cleft lip, cleft palate, cerebral defects, anophthalmia, simian creases, polydactyly, trigger thumbs, and capillary hemangiomata. This activity describes the evaluation and Introduction: Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) is one of the most common chromosomal anomalies clinically characterized by the presence of numerous malformations with a limited survival rate for most cases. Babies are usually identified at birth and the diagnosis is confirmed with genetic testing.
