Future Directions
The genetic etiology of BridgeMar Syndrome remains unknown, but autosomal recessive inheritance is suspected. Parents are nonconsanguinous (unrelated) and have one unaffected child, a son.
Although we suspect the disorder is inherited, the exact cause of the disorder remains unknown. It is important to try to identify other families with similarly affected infants in order to better understand this complex disorder. Please contact our clinical coordinators at 801-585-9717 if your child is similarly affected, to inquire about participating in research studies to help us better understand this complex disorder.
