📋Overview
Trisomy 13 Syndrome is a chromosomal disorder characterized by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13 in the body's cells. This additional genetic material interferes with typical growth and development, often resulting in multiple congenital anomalies and severe developmental delays.
Commonly referred to as Patau syndrome, this condition is a well-established genetic disorder. It involves significant clinical observations that may affect various physical structures and organ systems from the earliest stages of life.
