A person may have inherited a mutated gene from one of his or her parents, or the gene change may be a new change due to an error carried by the egg or sperm or occurring at conception.]]> 2018-03-20 14:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/244054641 kniec20 https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249238696 There is no single treatment for noonan syndrome, but it's possible to treat many aspects of disorder.]]> 2018-04-06 14:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249238696 kniec20 https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249242835 Children who have one parent with Noonan syndrome who carries the defective gene (autosomal dominant) have a 50 percent chance of developing the disorder.]]> 2018-04-06 14:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249242835 kniec20 https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249246232 Because some cases of Noonan syndrome occur spontaneously, there's no known way to prevent it. However, if you have a family history of this syndrome, talk to your doctor about the benefits of genetic counseling before you have children. Noonan syndrome can be detected with molecular genetic testing.]]> 2018-04-06 14:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249246232 kniec20 https://padlet.com/kniec20/iwndo46ib26z/wish/249247145
Symptoms of Noonan syndrome may include the following:

• A characteristic facial appearance.
• Short stature.
• Heart defect present at birth (congenital heart defect).
• A broad or webbed neck.
• Minor eye problems such as strabismus in up to 95 percent of individuals.
• Bleeding problems such as a history of abnormal bleeding or bruising.
• An unusual chest shape with widely-spaced and low set nipples.
• Developmental delay of varying degrees, but usually mild.
• In males, undescended testes (cryptorchidism).
