He was normocephalic, had normal milestones, meatal stenosis, bilateral esotropia and mild scoliosis. [qscience.com]
Ears
- Low Set Ears
Several reports suggest a set of recognizable phenotypes that involve severe/profound psychomotor retardation, dolichocephaly or microbrachycephaly, gaping fontanels and wide sagittal and metopic sutures, hypertelorism, large apparently low-set ears, [nijp.org]
Ears were low set and protruding, with poorly folded helices. In addition, a deep and short philtrum, a thin upper lip, a small mouth with downturned corners, a high arched and narrow palate, a bifid uvula, and a massive chin were observed. [jmg.bmj.com]
Psychiatrical
- Suggestibility
The region 7p21.1 to 7p22.2 observed in our patient has been suggested to be the critical region for the manifestations of the 7p duplication phenotype. [qscience.com]
A comparative analysis of our case with those published previously suggests that the 7p21.1-p21.2 region might contain a critical region for the 7p duplication syndrome. [jmg.bmj.com]
“Because we’re seeing similar levels of risk with the Williams kids, that suggests that there’s something going on with this region in general that is conferring risk,” says lead researcher Bonita Klein-Tasman, professor of psychology at the University [spectrumnews.org]
