Signs and symptoms

Common signs and symptoms that may indicate this condition.

Warning signs - seek immediate care

!

Congenital heart defects

Various structural heart abnormalities including hypoplastic left heart, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus.

Immediate cardiac evaluation and monitoring required; seek emergency care for cyanosis or respiratory distress.

!

Seizures

Epileptic episodes that may present as convulsive or non-convulsive seizures.

Seek emergency care for any seizure activity; requires neurology evaluation.

Growth failure

(constitutional)

Prenatal and postnatal growth retardation resulting in short stature and failure to thrive.

Frequency: 80-90% of patients

Intellectual disability

(neurologic)

Moderate to severe intellectual disability with developmental delays affecting cognitive function.

Frequency: 80-90% of patients

Thrombocytopenia

(constitutional)

Low platelet count causing increased bleeding tendency and easy bruising.

Frequency: 80-90% of patients

Facial dysmorphism

(dermatologic)

Characteristic facial features including wide-set eyes, broad nasal bridge, and small ears.

Frequency: 80-90% of patients

Feeding difficulties

(gastrointestinal)

Feeding problems in infancy due to poor suck reflex and oral motor dysfunction.

Frequency: 50-70% of patients

Hearing impairment

(neurologic)

Conductive or sensorineural hearing loss affecting auditory development.

Frequency: 30-50% of patients

Ocular abnormalities

(neurologic)

Various eye abnormalities including strabismus, refractive errors, and optic nerve atrophy.

Frequency: 30-50% of patients

Renal abnormalities

(constitutional)

Kidney malformations including hydronephrosis, renal agenesis, or cystic kidneys.

Frequency: 30-50% of patients
