Neoreviews. 2023 Jan 1;24(1):51-56. doi: 10.1542/neo.24-1-e51.

Abstract

Trisomy 13 is the third most common autosomal aneuploidy disorder and is associated with a number of congenital malformations. Survival of infants with trisomy 13 has improved over time as life-prolonging technological interventions are more commonly offered. In this article, we describe the course of a child with trisomy 13 who has been followed at our hospital since infancy and explore the changing landscape of care for children with trisomy 13.
