Can Aarskog syndrome go away on its own?
Last updated September 6, 2026.
**No, Aarskog syndrome is a lifelong genetic condition that does not go away on its own.** If you or your child has Aarskog syndrome, some features can change with age without the condition disappearing. Childhood growth often catches up during puberty, but this does not mean every physical feature will resolve. Treatment depends on your specific needs and can include dental care or surgery for structural problems. Keep regular appointments and bring concerns about growth, learning, vision, or hearing to your clinician.
What to do
- **Track growth:** Have your child's clinician review height and development at regular visits.
- **Keep dental appointments:** Ask your dentist whether tooth alignment needs treatment.
- **Discuss specific symptoms:** Tell your clinician about vision, hearing, or learning difficulties.
- **Review treatment needs:** Ask your child's clinician whether undescended testicles or other structural differences need treatment.
- **Ask about genetics:** Discuss genetic counseling if you have a diagnosis or family history of Aarskog syndrome.
