Marfan Syndrome Research
As this eMedTV article explains, a current area of Marfan syndrome research focuses on finding ways to treat the complications that arise in people with the disorder. This Web page describes this and other areas of Marfan syndrome research.
Marfan Syndrome Treatment
Marfan syndrome treatment can range from regular eye exams to medication to surgery. This eMedTV resource discusses several things, such as regular checkups with your doctor, that can help minimize and prevent complications of Marfan syndrome.
Marfan--The Disease
Medical Problems of Klinefelter Syndrome
Medical problems of Klinefelter syndrome include osteoporosis and male breast cancer. This part of the eMedTV library provides an overview of these and a few other medical problems that men with Klinefelter syndrome should be aware of.
Mosaic Turner Syndrome
Mosaic Turner syndrome describes women who are missing the X chromosome in some cells. This page from the eMedTV site further defines mosaic Turner syndrome and offers information on its symptoms and diagnosis.
Prognosis for Turner Syndrome
Even though there is no cure, the prognosis for Turner syndrome is generally good. As this eMedTV page explains, a woman's Turner syndrome prognosis is affected by the cause and symptoms of her condition, as well as any other illnesses she may have.
