Historically, children born with trisomy 13 have been reported to have a poor prognosis and a very high mortality rate. However, recently, the average 1-year survival rate was reported as 54% in cases identified between 1994 and 2016.1 The life expectancy of these children is dramatically ...
The mortality rate is approx. 50 % in the first month of life and 90 % during the first year of life [2]. Although a few cases of longer survival have been reported [3, 4], there have been no published reports to date on neuropathological findings in long survival cases with ...
This has not borne out in recent studies, showing an improved survival benefit after complete repair of congenital cardiac defects [6, 13–15]. Importantly, there is a higher mortality rate than the general population, but carefully selected patients, ideally at >3 months of age and >3 kg,...
Progression-free survival of Binet-A patients may be relatively short, but OS appears to be very favourable, particularly with FC or FCR treatment [27]. Cases with trisomy 12 (hierarchical) rarely show TP53 mutations – and rarely acquire these over time – a finding that may partly explain ...

Other than in Down syndrome, the trisomic condition is rare in live-born infants. Twoautosomal trisomiesother thantrisomy 21demonstrate survival to term and occur with sufficiently significant frequency to be well-described syndromes—namely, trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome,Fig. 2-10) andtrisomy 18(Edwar...
Although the majority of fetuses with aneuploidy result in spontaneous termination during fetal development, T21 has the highest survival rate, affecting 1 in 800 births [2]. Therefore, prenatal detection of T21 is considered the most common and important aspect of prenatal genetic testing. Current ...
Couples should be informed that fetal survival rate is good, with 99% surviving to term following diagnosis after amniocentesis [64, 65]. It is not routine to karyotype parents of girls with 47,XXX as recurrence risk is estimated to be <1% [66–68]. Similar to other aneuploidies, a signi...

Survival figures in trisomy 13 are very similar [1]. The foremost causes of death are central apnea, cardiac failure, and respiratory insufficiency [3], [6]. The high mortality rate in children with trisomy 18 and 13 historically characterized these syndromes as uniformly lethal and the ...
