Here are some tasks you can do:

This could probably stand a copyedit to cut down on the number of explicit references to "chromosome 13" (13 of them in this brief article). - dcljr (talk) 18:45, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] biology homework

i need some more information. like is it cureable, can other people catch it, other stuff like that tell me what you know please... ~little girl in need~

This is a condition that a person is born with. There is no cure, unfortunately (see "Prognosis"). It isn't something catching. A parent that has a specific chromosomal translocation is at increased risk of having children with this condition (see "Recurrence Risk"). - afalbrig 6:23, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] translation

Maybe somebody want to translate parts of die German-language version of this article: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A4tau-Syndrom

[edit] Er, has this page been vandalized?

I don't know about anybody else, but a page that just says "JIZZ" looks like vandalism to me... How do we contact somebody to fix this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.11.220.156 (talk) 20:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Symptoms, features

I can't find any mention of it's characteristic features. Besides this, it's a well written article.

[edit] Clearing a citation

How do I get the citation off the last sentence in the Prognosis section... I like to adjust this number( presently over 70) as needed from the current and updated site, http://www.Livingwithtrisomy13.org

Its fine that someone felt the need to add a citation, but do I need to add something to clear this up. Clearly anyone following the link(1) will see there are survivors living.

Also just read how to do the signature...is that whats needed behind the sentence? I did not write the entire paragraph, just added the sentence for families searching for long term survival..prognosis
