Patau syndrome, also known as trisomy 13, is an autosomal genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. It is not sex-linked, as it affects chromosomes that are not related to sex determination. This condition can lead to various physical and intellectual disabilities, and it typically results from nondisjunction during cell division.
