- Failure to Thrive
Signs and symptoms that have been most commonly reported include intrauterine growth restriction; failure to to thrive; developmental delay ; intellectual disability ; distinctive facial characteristics; structural malformations of the heart; and other [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Chromosome 14, Trisomy Mosaic may also be characterized by abnormal growth delays before birth (prenatal growth retardation) and a failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive) during infancy. [rarediseases.org]
