∙ 15y agoPatau syndrome, also called trisomy 13, is a congenital (present at birth) disorder associated with the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. The extra chromosome 13 causes numerous physical and mental abnormalities, especially heart defects. Patau syndrome is named for Dr. Klaus Patau, who reported the syndrome and its association with trisomy in 1960. Over 200 stories of children with trisomy 13.

Are there cases of trisomy besides down syndrome that can survive?
My son is 3 years old with full trisomy 18. I have some videos on youtube that I've put together with lots of trisomy families I've found on facebook. My awareness video is of over 100 surviving kids of trisomy 13 and 18. Just go to youtube and search 'trisomy awareness' or trisomy advocacy' and you'll find them. There is also a website called 'livingwithtrisomy13.com' that has stories of over 100 trisomy 13 kids on it. I, also, personally know of two kids with trisomy 8. So, yes, there are cases of kids surviving trisomies other than trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome). :) Alisha Hauber
