ICD10 code of Trisomy 13 Syndrome / Patau Syndrome and ICD9 code

Trisomy 13 Syndrome, also known as Patau Syndrome, is a chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 13. It is characterized by a range of physical abnormalities and intellectual disabilities.

The ICD-10 code for Trisomy 13 Syndrome is Q91.3, which falls under the category of "Chromosomal anomalies, NEC" in the ICD-10 coding system. This code specifically represents the presence of an extra chromosome 13 in the individual's genetic makeup.

In the previous ICD-9 coding system, Trisomy 13 Syndrome was identified by the code 758.1, which falls under the category of "Other chromosomal anomalies." This code indicated the presence of an additional chromosome 13 in the individual's genetic material.

It is important to note that accurate coding is crucial for medical records, insurance claims, and statistical purposes. Proper coding allows healthcare professionals and researchers to track the prevalence, impact, and outcomes of specific conditions like Trisomy 13 Syndrome, aiding in the improvement of patient care and understanding of the disorder.
