Yes, Marfan Syndrome can be detected before birth through prenatal genetic testing such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. These tests can detect whether the fetus has inherited the genetic mutation that causes Marfan Syndrome. It's important to consult with a genetic counselor or healthcare provider for further information and testing options.

Yes, it is a learning disability, unless they are Asperger's due to Autism. Comment: Asperger's Syndrome is not a learning disability. It is a neurological condition that is part of the autism spectrum. People with Asperger's Syndrome can also have learning disabilities.

Experts recommend genetic counseling for persons with a family history of Down syndrome who wish to have a baby. A woman's risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases as she gets older. The risk is significantly higher among women age 35 and older. Couples who already have a baby with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having another baby with the condition. Tests such as nuchal translucency ultrasound, amniocentesis, or chorionic villus sampling can be done on a fetus during the first few months of pregnancy to check for Down syndrome. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends offering Down syndrome screening tests to all pregnant women, regardless of age.
