Tracking Rare Incidence Syndromes
August, 2009: Trisomy 13 survival data

As of August 1, 2009, 145 Full TRIS Surveys were completed (children living longer than two months). Of the total, 44 children had a type of trisomy 13 (30.3%) including 25 full, nine mosaic and 10 partial. At the time of survey completion, 30 children were living (68%) (mean = 100 months, range two to 405 months). The remaining 14 survived between two to 290 months (mean = 64 months) (32%).

The Modified TRIS Survey collects data on infants who survived less than 60 days. Of the 122 completed surveys, 74% represented infants with trisomy 13 (n = 90; 89 full, one mosaic). Close to half (43%) were stillborn or passed away during labor and delivery. The next largest group (n = 10) survived for three days post-birth.

BE SURE TO REGISTER your child’s Trisomy information with TRIS

Columbia University Medical Center
NEW Research Study for Families with Chromosome 13 Disorders
This study will separate which features of trisomy 13 are associated with which parts of the chromosome, this study would apply ONLY to those children with partial trisomy 13, either due to a translocation or all by itself. These children are very rare, and would be a great contribution to this research.
