There is variability however, as ID can range from severe to mild, and sparse hair may be present only in certain age groups. [zora.uzh.ch]
This is a very rare genetic condition affecting several parts of the body presenting symptoms such as a small sized head, distinct facial features, unusually short digits, seizures and intellectual disability. [mybiosource.com]

Treatment
Treatment There is no cure for the disease but the treatment can help with the management of the symptoms. Based on the symptoms, the treatment can consist of medications, physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy. [mybiosource.com]
TREATMENT Treatment of NCBRS focuses on managing individual symptoms. Depending on the symptoms present, treatment might include medication, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, and hearing aids. [secure.ssa.gov]

Etiology

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]
Smith’s Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation has long been known as the source to consult on multiple malformation syndromes of environmental and genetic etiology as well as recognizable disorders of unknown cause. [books.google.com]
The phe-notypic overlay of these syndromes has been attributed to their common molecular etiology, but the molecular consequences of mutations in this chromatin-remodeling complex have yet to be investigated. [chromatin-net.eu]
