The rate of mutation of the fibrillin gene, however, appears to be related to the age of the patient's father; older fathers are more likely to have new mutations appear in chromosome 15.
There is a 50% chance that the baby will have Marfan. The father might pass on the gene that has the Marfan mutation, or he might pass on the gene that does not. Each child you have together has a 50% chance.
No.
if you were born and your mother or father had William syndrome, you can inherit the syndrome or disease.

Jacob syndrome, 49XYY, has to occur as a result of nondisjunction in the father. The Jacob Syndrome male would have received the X chromosome from his mother, and both Y chromosomes from the father (since the Y chromosomes can not possibly have come from the mother). Jacob Syndrome can be the result of nondisjunction in meiosis.

No, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) is caused by the mother's consumption of alcohol during pregnancy, not by the father. The risks associated with FAS are related to alcohol exposure during pregnancy, rather than genetic inheritance.
Individuals with Cri du Chat syndrome carry a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 5, specifically the region known as 5p15.2. This deletion leads to developmental and intellectual disabilities as well as characteristic facial features associated with the syndrome.
No, almost all males with Down Syndrome are unable to have children. There have only been three recorded cases of Down Syndrome fathers
No, not the father. But older mothers have a higher rate of bearing a child with Down syndrome.(See the Related link below.)
