Trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 are genetic disorders that present a combination of birth defects including severe mental retardation, as well as health problems involving nearly every organ system in the body.

Trisomy 13 syndrome: Condition with three rather than the normal two chromosomes #13. Children born with this syndrome have multiple malformations and mental retardation due to the extra chromosome #13.

Trisomy 13 can be diagnosed prenatally by amniocentesis with chromosome studies of the amniotic cells. Trisomy 13 mosaicism and partial trisomy 13 also occur.

Trisomy 13 occurs in about 1 out of every 5,000 live births. It is a syndrome with multiple abnormalities, many of which are not compatible with more than a few months of life.

Regular trisomy 21 - all the cells have an extra chromosome 21. Around 94 per cent of people with Down's syndrome have this type.

In addition to trisomy 21, some cases may show other clonal abnormalities, particularly trisomy 8.[73,74] Spontaneous remission occurs within 1 to 3 months in transient cases.

CAUSES"Also called trisomy 21, Down syndrome occurs during fetal development, but is not inherited. The problem is an extra 21st chromosome. It occurs in 1 out of 700 live births.

People with Down syndrome, also called trisomy 21, develop a syndrome of dementia that has the same characteristics of the Alzheimer disease that occurs in individuals without Down syndrome.

All of these findings are secondary to trisomy (an extra chromosome) of the 21st chromosome. Trisomy 21 can be detected in the first few months of pregnancy by amniocentesis.

It was later discovered that this extra chromosome appears as a third chromosome attached to the 21st of the 23 pairs of chromosomes normally present in the human genome. This third chromosome gives rise to the alternate name trisomy 21.

More than one-third of children with Down syndrome — which is caused by an extra 21st chromosome (trisomy 21) — have heart defects. A deletion (missing piece) of genetic material on chromosome 22 also causes heart defects.
