Answer:
Patau syndrome
Also called: Trisomy 13
A condition in which a person has an extra chromosome 13.
Prenatal testing can detect Patau syndrome during pregnancy.
Patau's syndrome is a serious rare genetic disorder caused by having an additional copy of chromosome 13 in some or all of the body's cells. It's also called trisomy 13. Each cell normally contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, which carry the genes you inherit from your parents
The median life expectancy of Patau syndrome is 7–10 days, and 90% die in the first year of life. Survival is often attributed to mosaicism and the severity of associated malformations.
