Learn About Fraser Syndrome
Fraser syndrome is a rare disorder that affects development before birth. Characteristic features of this condition include:
Genetic changes that cause disease are called pathogenic variants. Pathogenic variants in the FRAS1, FREM2, or GRIP1 genes can cause Fraser syndrome. FRAS1 gene variants are the most common cause of Fraser syndrome. FREM2 and GRIP1 gene variants are each responsible for a small percentage of cases.
Fraser syndrome is a rare condition. It is believed to affect up to 1 in 250,000 newborns. More than 250 cases have been reported in the scientific literature.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell must have a pathogenic variant to cause the disorder. Usually, the parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the altered gene, but they typically do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.
