Explanation:

Trisomy 13, also called Patau syndrome, is a chromosomal condition associated with severe intellectual disability and physical abnormalities in many parts of the body. Individuals with trisomy 13 often have heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, very small or poorly developed eyes (microphthalmia), extra fingers or toes, an opening in the lip (a cleft lip) with or without an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), and weak muscle tone (hypotonia). Due to the presence of several life-threatening medical problems, many infants with trisomy 13 die within their first days of life.

What are the advantages of seeing a specialist as opposed to a primary care physician
Pachacha [2.7K]
Primary Care Providers are doctors who have been trained to be a patient’s first point of entry into the health care system. If you're looking to get your annual physical or need to see a doctor about something that's wrong with your health, they’re great resources because they’re trained to be able to diagnose a wide variety of medical conditions. Specialists are doctors who have advanced training and degrees in a particular branch of medicine, such as heart health or bone health. Depending on the field, many can also perform surgery. If you have, say, a suspicious mole, your primary care provider may recommend that you follow up with a dermatologist so he or she can check it out and possibly remove it surgically.


Hope that helps!
