In people with Trisomy 13 Disorder, the range and also seriousness of linked symptoms and also findings might depend on the specific area of the copied (trisomic) portion of chromosome 1, as well as the percentage of cells having the irregularity. However, in numerous damaged babies and also kids, such abnormalities might include developing delays, profound mental deficiency, unusually small eyes (microphthalmia), an irregular groove in the upper lip (cleft lip), incomplete closure of the roofing of the mouth (cleft palate), undescended testes (cryptorchidism) in affected males, as well as additional (supernumerary) fingers and toes (polydactyly). Additional malformations of the head as well as facial (craniofacial) location might additionally exist, such as a reasonably little head (microcephaly) with a sloping forehead; an extensive, level nose; commonly set eyes (ocular hypertelorism); upright skin folds covering the eyes; internal edges (epicanthal folds); scalp problems; and unshaped, low-set ears.
