Trisomia 163 mail

I think you meant to ask about Trisomy 16, not 163.

Trisomy 16 is a type of chromosomal abnormality where a person has three copies of chromosome 16 instead of the usual two. This occurs when there is an error during cell division, resulting in an extra copy of chromosome 16.

Trisomy 16 is the most common trisomy, accounting for about 1 in every 200 pregnancies. However, most cases of Trisomy 16 do not survive to birth due to severe developmental abnormalities and a high risk of miscarriage.

When Trisomy 16 does occur, the symptoms can vary widely, but may include:

• Severe growth restriction
• Heart defects
• Brain and spinal cord abnormalities
• Kidney and urinary tract problems
• Skeletal abnormalities
• Developmental delays

In most cases, Trisomy 16 is not compatible with life, and the pregnancy is typically terminated. However, in some cases, the pregnancy may be carried to term, and the baby may be born with significant health problems.
