Features of the Syndrome in Family 1
Category | Features |
---|---|
Growth | postnatal growth failure |
Development | global, severe delays |
Facial | wrinkled foreheads; prominence of eyes, down-sloping palpebral fissures, thickened lids; large ears; flared nares, hypoplastic alae, short columella; protruding upper lip; microretrognathia |
Skeletal | delayed closure of fontanels; broad great toes |
Integument | redundancy/laxity of skin, minimal subcutaneous fat, cutaneous capillary malformations, very fine hair and eyebrows |
Cardiaca | structural anomalies (ventricular septal defect, atrial level defect, pulmonary artery stenoses), arrhythmias (Torsade de points, PVCs, PACs, SVtach, Vtach), death usually associated with cardiogenic shock preceded by arrhythmia. |
Genitala | inguinal hernia, hypo- or cryptorchidism |
Neurologica | hypotonia progressing to hypertonia, cerebral atrophy neurogenic scoliosis |
Features of the syndrome demonstrating more variability. Though variable findings of the cardiac, genital and neurologic systems were observed, all affected individuals manifested some pathologic finding of each.
