Associated Conditions

Pierre Robin Sequence and Syndrome (PRS) is a complex condition which can exist on its own or in conjunction with many other genetic and/or syndromic conditions.

Currently, there is no genetic test to determine the cause for PRS.

Statistics suggest that approximately 65% of children diagnosed with PRS are reported to have coexisting syndromes including Sticklers and Velocardial-facial Syndrome to name a few.

These conditions do have a genetic origin with blood tests able to assist in the diagnosis of these conditions. 

If your medical team feels that the existence of an additional condition is likely, you will be referred to a team of genetic specialists to help determine your infants individual diagnosis.

The following is a list of commonly accepted conditions that have been found to exist in conjunction with PRS:

• ADAM Sequence
• Beckwith-Wiedemann
• Bilateral femoral dysgenesis
• Catel-Manzke Syndrome
• Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome
• C.H.A.R.G.E syndrome
• Diastrophic dysplasia
• Distal arthrogryposis
• FAS
• Kniest Syndrome
• Larsen Syndrome
• Miller-Dieker
• Moebius Syndrome
• Nager Syndrome
• Oto-Palatal Digital Syndrome
• Popliteal pterygium
• Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome
• Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia
• Stickler Syndrome
• Toriello-Carey
• Treacher Collins
