I'd be happy to help with that question! Here's a clear and concise answer for you:
The characteristics of a person with Patau syndrome include:
A. Cleft lip
B. Extra fingers
C. Simian crease
The EXCEPTION in this case is:
D. Small stature
So, a person with Patau syndrome may have a cleft lip, extra fingers, and a simian crease on the palm, but they typically do not have small stature as a common characteristic of this syndrome.
