Noonan Syndrome Information

Noonan syndrome is a condition that affects many areas of a person's body. Mildly unusual facial characteristics, heart defects, short stature, skeletal malformations, bleeding issues, and other signs and symptoms characterize the condition. People who experience Noonan syndrome have distinctive facial features to include a deep groove in the area between their nose and mouth, eyes that are widely spaced and often times blue-green or pale blue in color, as well as ears that are low-set and rotated backward. People with this condition might have a high arch in the roof of their mouth, a small lower jaw, and poor alignment of their teeth. A number of children with Noonan syndrome have a short neck and both children and adults might have excess neck skin referred to as, "webbing," as well as a low hairline at the back of their neck.
