- Marfan syndrome (also called Marfan's syndrome) is a genetic disorder of connective tissue. It has a variable clinical presentation, ranging from mild to severe systemic disease. The most serious manifestations involve defects of the heart valves and aorta, which may lead to early death if not properly managed.

Joubert syndrome Joubert syndrome. Description. Joubert syndrome is a disorder that affects many parts of the body. The signs and symptoms of this condition vary among affected individuals, even among members of the same family. The hallmark feature of Joubert syndrome is a brain abnormality called the molar tooth sign, which can be seen on brain imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

What is Williams Syndrome? Williams Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder present at birth that is associated with deletion of genetic material in chromosome 7. The disorder is characterized by the following physical features: unique elfin facial features, heart and blood vessel problems, elevated blood calcium levels, slow weight gain, feeding problems, colic, dental problems, kidney problems, hernias, and hypotonia.

- Angelman syndrome is a complex genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous system. Characteristic features of this condition include delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, and problems with movement and balance (ataxia).any of the characteristic features of Angelman syndrome result from the loss of function of a gene called UBE3A. People normally inherit one copy of the UBE3A gene from each parent. Both copies of this gene are turned on (active) in many of the body's tissues.

- Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (congenital dysplastic angiopathy) is a congenital vascular disorder of unknown cause.t is recommended that women with KT not use hormone replacement therapy. Women with KT who are pregnant should be carefully managed. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber is an old term. KT used to be called KTW Syndrome, but the Weber has been dropped to avoid confusion with the Parkes/Weber Syndrome.

- Myelodysplastic Syndromes. Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) are a family of diseases that occur in patients whose stem cells don't mature into blood cells or function properly. Some forms of MDS are extremely mild and easy to manage, while others develop into leukemia, which can be life-threatening.

Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic condition caused by deficiency of the enzyme 3 beta-hydroxysterol-delta 7-reductase (7-dehydrocholesterol-delta 7-reductase [DHCR7] EC 1.3.1.21), the final enzyme in the sterol synthetic pathway that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol (7DHC) to cholesterol.

Background Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a spectrum of disorders caused by a heritable genetic defect of connective tissue that has an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. [1, 2, 3, 4] The defect itself has been isolated to the FBN1 gene on chromosome 15, which codes for the connective tissue protein fibrillin.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS, POS, POD, Stein-Leventhal Syndrome) PCOS is also called the Stein-Leventhal syndrome. Women with PCOS do not ovulate -- they do not release an egg every month -- and they are at significantly higher risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer).

Alone we are rare. Together we are strong.â¥ Donate Today Glucose transporter type 1 (Glut1) deficiency syndrome is a rare genetic metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of a protein that is required for glucose (a simple sugar) to cross the blood-brain barrier. The most common symptom is seizures (epilepsy), which usually begin within the first few months of life.

What are mendel's law of genetics? Mendel also hypothesized that allele pairs separate randomly, or segregate, from each other during the production of gametes: egg and sperm. Because allele pairs separate during gamete production, a sperm or egg carries only one allele for each inherited trait.
