Noonan syndrome

Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition that affects development and growth. Individuals with Noonan syndrome may have distinctive facial features, heart defects, short stature, and developmental delays. It is caused by changes in certain genes that play a role in cell growth and development. The symptoms can vary widely, so some people may have only mild issues while others experience more significant challenges. While there is no cure, early diagnosis and ongoing management can help address the symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
