POTOCKI-SHAFFER SYNDROME

Alternate names

POTOCKI-SHAFFER SYNDROME Is also known as proximal 11p deletion syndrome, defect11 syndrome, pss, chromosome 11p11.2 deletion syndrome, 11p11.2 deletion, p11pds

Description

Potocki-Shaffer syndrome is characterized by multiple exostoses, parietal foramina, enlargement of the anterior fontanelle and occasionally intellectual deficit and mild cranio-facial anomalies. To date, 23 individuals from 14 families have been reported. The syndrome is caused by contiguous gene deletions on the short arm of chromosome 11 (11p11.2).

Most common symptoms of POTOCKI-SHAFFER SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hearing impairment
  • Microcephaly
