Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome[edit]

Dr. Robert Marcus Gunn also was the first to discover another rare condition that is now known as Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome. This syndrome is caused by some of the jaw muscles being connected to the muscles of one or both eyelids. Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome is extremely rare in the general population. It is estimated that only 1 of every 840 live births has congenital ptosis, and only 5% of 1/840 live births has Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome. As of 2023, this syndrome is still somewhat of a scientific and medical marvel, as few people truly have MGJWS; as a result of few cases, not much is known about this syndrome. Currently, scientists and medical professionals hold to the belief that MGJWS is a genetic trait.
