Patau syndrome, or trisomy 13, is a genetic disorder caused by an extra chromosome 13. It leads to severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities, including heart defects, cleft lip or palate, and organ malformations. Most infants with Patau syndrome have a significantly reduced life expectancy, often not surviving beyond the first year of life. Survivors may face numerous health challenges and require extensive medical care and support.
