Can marfan s syndrome skip a generation?

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from an affected parent can lead to the condition in their child. While it can appear to skip a generation, this may occur if the affected parent has a mild form of the syndrome or if the child inherits the gene mutation but does not express noticeable symptoms. Additionally, new mutations can arise, leading to cases in families where there is no prior history of the syndrome.
