Nicolaides-Baraitser Syndrome

Nicolaides Baraitser Syndrome


Presentation
  • There is variability however, as ID can range from severe to mild, and sparse hair may be present only in certain age groups.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
  • Literature review was carried out to better define the NBS clinical spectrum and to perform an in-depth differential diagnosis with other malformation syndromes presenting with congenital hypotrichosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
  • Some reported patients presented autistic features, although in none of these patients was the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder formally made.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
  • There are no reported cases in the literature of patients with NCBRS presenting with multiple dental impactions, and to the authors' knowledge, this is the 28th fully documented case of NCBRS and only 75 cases identified as potentially having NCBRS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup

  • One of the probable explanations regarding the etiology of this syndrome is that it is caused by a heterogeneous dominant de novo mutation in a single gene.[ijpd.in]
