Summary Introduction

To describe: The lethality of hypothetical genetic disorder that is responsible for condition 1 and is similar to the Marfan syndrome, and the defect, which is responsible for condition 2 that resembles to the Edwards’s syndrome.

Introduction: The lethality of any syndrome is greatly dependent on the symptoms and effects of that syndrome over the organism. Genetic abnormalities are very much lethal to an organism. The genes regulate the cells of an organism via expressing proteins; so, any malfunctioning in the gene may result in the physical change of an individual.
