Behavioral/psychiatric problems included attention deficits/ADHD, tantrums, impulsivity, mood instability, and bipolar disorder.
Dysmorphic features listed include: plagiocephaly, hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, retrognathia, clinodactyly, and single palmar crease. One subject had dysplastic ears and a diagnosis of branchio-oto-renal syndrome.
Congenital heart defects included ventricular septal defect and L-transposition of the great arteries with ASD and VSD.
