The Essentials of
Cardiofaciocutaneous Syndrome (CFC)
PROGNOSIS
The phenotype of those affected by the disease can continue to change as time passes. People with the disease likely have lost their fertility, as no cases have been recorded of children born to a parent with this disease. (Pubmed) Average life expectancy is, on average, shortened due to the heart disease that often accompanies CFC syndrome. (Orphanet)
ADVICE
Patients and their guardians have different options for alleviating symptoms. For example, lubricating lotions or ointments can help with some skin conditions, increased caloric and fiber intake can alleviate constipation, and corrective glasses can be used to help some patients improve vision.
