Noonan syndrome is caused by changes in one of several autosomal dominant genes.]]> 2018-03-22 15:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245060214 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245067237 Symptoms of Noonan syndrome include short stature, a webbed or broad neck, a characteristic facial appearance and congenital heart defects, explains the National Human Genome Research Institute. People may also have an unusual chest shape, mild developmental delays and bleeding or bruising problems. Up to 95 percent of people who suffer from Noonan syndrome have mild eye problems, while males may have undescended testes. ]]> 2018-03-22 15:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245067237 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245069700 Treatment
There is no single treatment for Noonan syndrome, but it's possible to treat many aspects of the disorder.

Your child may initially need quite a lot of treatment and support to help manage the various problems they have. However, they'll typically need much less care as they get older.

Although they'll probably need to have some routine tests and checks to monitor their condition, most adults with Noonan syndrome can lead a normal life.]]> 2018-03-22 15:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245069700 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245072712 Most children diagnosed with Noonan syndrome have normal intelligence, though up to 25% percent may have some developmental disability. Most children with Noonan syndrome develop and function normally as adults; however, they all should be fully evaluated to determine the severity of their symptoms and defects and to determine what sort of interventions might be needed to keep them healthy. The most common cause of premature death or illness is related to the type and severity of the heart defect.

Those with a family history of the condition should discuss it with their doctor or a genetic counselor before trying to conceive.]]> 2018-03-22 15:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245078323 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245087903 Individuals who have Noonan syndrome have normal chromosome studies. Four genes - PTPN11, SOS1, RADF1 and KRAS - are the only genes that are known to be associated with Noonan syndrome. Approximately 50 percent of individuals with Noonan syndrome have mutations in the PTPN11 gene.]]> 2018-03-22 16:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245087903 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245090216 Noonan syndrome is inherited in families in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that a person who has Noonan syndrome has one copy of an altered gene that causes the disorder. ... The chance for these parents to have another child with Noonan syndrome is very small (less than 1 percent).]]> 2018-03-22 16:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/245090216 mpaniaguasinay19 https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/246107015 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/noonan-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20354422]]> 2018-03-26 14:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaniaguasinay19/w6gblpq4d3lj/wish/246107015
