  • Title: Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) with an 11-year survival.
    Author: Zoll B, Wolf J, Lensing-Hebben D, Pruggmayer M, Thorpe B.
    Journal: Clin Genet; 1993 Jan; 43(1):46-50. PubMed ID: 8462196.
    Abstract:
    Trisomy 13 is very rare in live-born children. Only a small number of these children survive the first year and very few cases are reported to live longer. Survival time depends partly on the cytogenetic findings--full trisomy 13 or trisomy 13 mosaicism--and partly on the existence of serious somatic malformations. We report on a 11-year-old girl with full trisomy 13. In this case, missing cerebral and cardiovascular malformations probably allowed the long survival.
