Trisomy 13 or Patau’s Syndrom is a rare disease occurring 1 from 15,000 births. It is a disease which occurred when the patient has an additional chromosome 13 due to a non-disjunction of chromosomes during meiosis. Most embryos with trisomy 13 do not survive gestation and are spontaneously aborted. Those who survive will have abnormalities and low life span.
