Abstract
This case report details the first confirmed diagnosis of Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome) in Mali using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH). The male newborn presented with multiple congenital anomalies, including polydactyly and micrognathia. The diagnosis expands the understanding of Trisomy 13 in Africa, highlighting the importance of genetic testing in resource-limited settings.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
