Causes & Risk Factors Of Fraser Syndrome

Prognosis

The prognosis of Fraser syndrome depends on how severe the abnormalities are. As of 2018, forty percent of babies who have Fraser syndrome die before or shortly after they are born. On the other hand, some individuals go on to live a normal life span, and there is at least one person who lived to a great age, was of normal intelligence and led a full life. There is no treatment for the disease, though some physical abnormalities may be corrected through surgery. Genetic counseling is available for the parents, and there are modalities that support the patient and make them comfortable for as long as they live.
