Trisomy 13

Because of the severity of congenital defects, life-sustaining procedures are generally not attempted.

Extremely short survival time is expected. Rarely, affected persons survive to adulthood.

Complications begin almost immediately. They include breathing difficulty or lack of breathing (apnea), deafness, vision problems, feeding problems, seizures, heart failure, and others.

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have had a child with Trisomy 13, and you plan to have another child.
