Hi Everyone

When I went to NYC to see Dr. Shanske (peds genetics), he evaluated
me, my sister and nephew. He said the difference between sticklers and
marshall syndrome is some skin/hair defects. Like for example, my
sister and I have significant loss of hair that started in our teens.
He then went on to say that Marshall syndrome is a type of ectodermal
dysplasia. He said Marshall syndrome is very rare as he only knew of
about 7-8 families with it. They took some of my blood when i was
there to use for research when and if they do decide to research on
marshall syndrome. Hope this helps.
Mel
