NO, there is not a cure for Patau Syndrome. However, in some cases of Patau Syndrome - Trisomy 13, you can use medical intervention to treat the specific medical abnormalities that come with this genetic proflie. I have a child who is living with Patau Syndrome and now 8 yrs old. There is not a cure, but there are children who are living (80 + Survivor stories) and doing rather well. You will also read many Treasured Memory stories where the families tell of the precious and brief time in some cases these families had with their children. Each child, although they have the extra 13th chromosome, present the anomalies in a unique manner. The babies and children should be treated on a case by case basis. If you want to know more about Patau Syndrome and the families who know this journey. Go to Living with Trisomy 13 http://www.livingwithtrisomy13.org You will find a wealth of family stories, family support resources Blessings, ThereseAnn, mom to Natalia full trisomy 13.

What gender is more likely to get Patau syndrome?
Neither. Patau syndrome isn't gender-linked. In fact, the majority of the time it isn't even inherited directly from the parents. Patau syndrome is the event where an individual has an extra copy of the 13th chromosome. It most often occurs because of random error in meiosis.
What is an example of a disorder associated with an error in the number of chromosomes present?
Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a disorder associated with an error in the number of chromosomes present. Other examples of disorders associated with an error in the number of chromosomes are Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome), Triple X syndrome, and Klinefelter Syndrome.
What are mutation that result in death?
These are called fatal genetic mutations. Same examples are: Tay-Sachs disease, Neimann-Pick disease, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 13 are "Edwards Syndrome" and "Patau Syndrome," respectively and Cystic fibrosis
What are the symptoms of Patau syndrome?
SymptomsNewborns with Patau syndrome share common physical characteristics: * Extra fingers or toes (polydactyly) * Deformed feet, known as rocker-bottom feet * Neurological problems such as small head (microcephaly), failure of the brain to divide into halves during gestation (holoprosencephaly), severe mental deficiency * Facial defects such as small eyes (microphthalmia), absent or malformed nose, cleft lip and/or cleft palate * Heart defects (80% of individuals) * Kidney defects

What other conditions may exist with Patau Syndrome?

The diagnosis of Patau syndrome is confirmed by the presence of three, rather than the normal two, copies of the thirteenth largest chromosome.
