Presentation
The 1p36 deletion syndrome is present in approximately 1 in 5,000 live births. It is the most common terminal deletion syndrome 2. There is a broad spectrum of variability in the clinical presentation of monosomy 1p36. [radiopaedia.org]
Hypogonadism, present in both males and females, manifests as genital hypoplasia, incomplete pubertal development, and, in most, infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In regard to diagnostic approach for the present case, we performed exome-first approach postnatally following prenatal G-banding analysis. [hindawi.com]
They present with features of monosomy 1p36, including developmental delay and mental retardation, dysmorphic features, hypotonia, behavioral abnormalities including hyperphagia, and seizures. [einstein.pure.elsevier.com]

[…] and late-closing anterior fontanel [2-4]. [enlivenarchive.org]
Terminal deletions of the short arm of chromosome 1 are associated with hypotonia and developmental delay (usually severe), growth abnormalities (growth retardation, microcephaly, obesity), and craniofacial dysmorphism with a large anterior fontanelle [jmg.bmj.com]

Neurologic
- Tremor
Autistic features, panic-like attacks, bruxism, episodic apnea and/or hyperpnea, gait ataxia and apraxia, tremors, and acquired microcephaly also occur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Tremulousness
Angelman syndrome (AS) is characterized by severe developmental delay/intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, gait ataxia and/or tremulousness of the limbs, and a unique behavior with an inappropriate happy demeanor that includes frequent laughing [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Gait Ataxia
Autistic features, panic-like attacks, bruxism, episodic apnea and/or hyperpnea, gait ataxia and apraxia, tremors, and acquired microcephaly also occur. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Clinical Testing and Workup In the past, a specific chromosomal study known as G-band analysis, which demonstrates missing (deleted) material on chromosome 17p, was used to help obtain a diagnosis of SMS. [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis
What is the prognosis and life expectancy for 1p36 deletion syndrome? Part of the prognosis for individuals with 1p36 deletion syndrome really depends on how much of DNA is missing from the p36 region. [medicinenet.com]
Prognosis of 1p36 Deletion Syndrome A individual person’s prognosis with 1p36 deletion syndrome differs on how much DNA is deleted from the p36 section. A few researches now record p36 as p36.1 to p36.3. [syndromespedia.com]
1p36 Deletion Syndrome has a variable prognosis. [evolvegene.com]
Constant monitoring for lifelong health concerns such as seizures is imperative; however, the long-term prognosis for these patients is promising. [etd.ohiolink.edu]
However, given the implications for prognosis and higher rate of hypotonia and severe developmental delay, molecular prenatal diagnosis, specifically for deletion of 1p36, should be considered in the setting of a fetal akinesia. [hindawi.com]
