Quick Summary:

Fraser Syndrome is a rare genetic developmental disorder that affects multiple parts of the body. It is congenital in nature. The children and the unborn fetuses, affected by this syndrome have a poor survival rate
Defective mutations of gene present on chromosome 4 are the cause for the disorder. Fraser Syndrome is autosomal recessive, implying that the genetic defect has to be inherited from both parents, for the condition to occur
The characteristic feature of this abnormality is fused eyelids (called cryptophthalmos), where the eyes appear hidden, or almost absent. Other anomalies include speaking, swallowing, and hearing difficulties, fused digits on hands and feet, etc.
Fraser Syndrome is managed on a case-by-case basis; often urgent surgical intervention is required to treat kidney or laryngeal abnormalities that are present
