Don't need to: You can't have Patau syndrome if you are 31 yrs old and smart enough to ask the question. These kids have a chromosome defect, multiple congenital defects and rarely live past a year of age. There seems to be a communication problem here.Either likely wrote down the wrong name for what s/he is proposing, or need to find a new doc.
