FACIAL DYSMORPHISM-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY-BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES SYNDROME DUE TO WAC POINT MUTATION

Alternate names

FACIAL DYSMORPHISM-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY-BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES SYNDROME DUE TO WAC POINT MUTATION Is also known as developmental delay, behavioral abnormalities, facial dysmorphism, and ocular abnormalities

Description

DeSanto-Shinawi syndrome is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay apparent in infancy or early childhood and associated with characteristic dysmorphic facial features, such as broad forehead, depressed nasal bridge with bulbous nasal tip, and deep-set eyes. Most patients also have gastrointestinal and mild ocular abnormalities, as well as behavioral problems (summary by DeSanto et al., 2015).

Most common symptoms of FACIAL DYSMORPHISM-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY-BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES SYNDROME DUE TO WAC POINT MUTATION

  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Hearing impairment
  • Hypertelorism

FACIAL DYSMORPHISM-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY-BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES SYNDROME DUE TO 10P11.21P12.31 MICRODELETION

Alternate names

FACIAL DYSMORPHISM-DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY-BEHAVIORAL ABNORMALITIES SYNDROME DUE TO 10P11.21P12.31 MICRODELETION Is also known as del(10)(p11.21p12.31), 10p12p11 microdeletion syndrome, monosomy 10p11.21p12.31, deletion 10p11.21p12.31

Description

Facial dysmorphism-developmental delay-behavioral abnormalities syndrome due to 10p11.21p12.31 microdeletion is a rare, genetic syndromic intellectual disability characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, speech delay, mild to moderate intellectual disability, abnormal behavior (autistic, aggressive, hyperactive) and dysmorphic facial features, including synophrys or thick eyebrows, deep set eyes, bulbous nasal tip and full cheeks. Congenital heart and brain anomalies, visual and hearing impairment are also common.
