a type of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells. In addition
to the cells being large, the inner contents of each cell are not completely
developed. This malformation causes the bone marrow to produce fewer
cells, and sometimes the cells die earlier than the 120-day life expectancy.

A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an X
Turner Syndrome chromosome is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or
part of one X chromosome is deleted.

Defects or deletions (pathogenic variants) of the fibrillin-1 (FBN1)
