Symptoms Of Fraser Syndrome To Watch For

Fraser syndrome is a rare type of genetic disorder generally characterized by fused eyelids, fusing of the skin found between the toes and fingers, and abnormalities found in the urinary tract. Symptoms and signs tend to show up early in the development. They may also include respiratory tract abnormalities, failure of the kidneys to develop properly, abnormalities of the ear and nose, a cleft lip, skeletal abnormalities, and intellectual disability. In particularly severe cases, Fraser syndrome might be fatal before a child is born or shortly after their birth. When an individual is less severely affected, they can live into childhood or sometimes even adulthood.
