Answers: did anyone have a trach? at what age did it come out? is it genetic?

Pierre Robin is not a genetic condition. There is controversy over what may cause it.
As PRS is not caused by a single defect gene, it is not a genetic syndrome, but rather a chain of certain developmental malformations, one entailing the next.
The syndrome is generally diagnosed shortly after birth. It has an incidence ranging from 1 in 8500 to 1 in 30,000.
