Presentation
At birth, they presented with coarse face, hypertelorism, and a deep groove under the eyes. Fontanelles and sutures were wide open. Genital abnormalities were present in 2 cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present the first case of SGS developing scoliosis. The patient presented with scoliosis at the age of 8 years which rapidly progressed to severe thoraco-lumbar scoliosis. Survival beyond 2 years is rare in this syndrome. [hss.edu]

Karyotype Abnormal
We report a male infant with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome, also showing the karyotypic abnormality 47,XXY. Agenesis of the corpus callosum and laryngeal stenosis were determined at autopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment : How to Treat "schinzel-giedion syndrome"? There is no disease-specific treatment for Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. Treatment of affected patients remains largely supportive & unable to reverse the outcome of the disease. [signssymptoms.org]
Treatment - Schinzel Giedion syndrome Treatment is only supportive, and cannot affect the outcome of the disorder. [checkorphan.org]

Frequent infections resulted in a delay in treatment, although apparent fragility had not been observed clinically. He died from tumor progression at 32 months of age. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since this disease is quite severe, most treatment is focused on symptoms and relieving pain. [patientworthy.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis - Schinzel Giedion syndrome Not supplied. Treatment - Schinzel Giedion syndrome Treatment is only supportive, and cannot affect the outcome of the disorder. [checkorphan.org]
While SETBP1 overexpression in myeloid malignancies links to poor prognosis, somatic mutations of SETBP1 were not previously identified in leukemias. [bloodjournal.org]
Severe developmental delay and poor prognosis is common to the previous reported cases.2 This report describes neurologic features and the clinical course associated with West syndrome in a female infant with Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. [docksci.com]
Prognosis Half of all reported patients were deceased at the time of the initial report. 20% died in the first year, another 17% in the second year and 13% between 2 and 10 years of age. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
Nonetheless, considerable overlap exists between the two syndromes in terms of clinical presentation, prognosis, and electroencephalographic signature. [semanticscholar.org]
Etiology
They are typically distinguished from each other according to specific clinical and etiologic criteria. [semanticscholar.org]
Pathologic findings are variable and include brain stem nuclear aplasia, facial nerve aplasia, and facial muscle aplasia, consistent with a multifactorial etiology. [icd10data.com]
The etiology of Dubowitz syndrome has not been evidently elucidated. Two causal genes have been put forward in separate isolated cases and include NSUN2 and LIG4. [findzebra.com]

Pathophysiology
[…] thought to be a causative mechanism in Schinzel-Giedion syndrome.3 Further, several lines of recurrent evidence suggest that SETBP1 plays a role in leukemogenesis.12-14 Although SETBP1 is a causative gene to be identified molecularly, the underlying pathophysiology [docksci.com]
This deletion includes the MBD5 gene, which is implicated in the pathophysiology of seizures. Stereotyped behaviors are also present and these are similar to Rett syndrome or Angelman syndrome. [scielo.br]
Prevention
Prevention - Schinzel Giedion syndrome Not supplied. Diagnosis - Schinzel Giedion syndrome There is no genetic or blood test for SGS. [checkorphan.org]
Examples of supportive methods include the use of gastrostomy feeding tubes to prevent malnutrition, administering antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections, anti-seizure medications to reduce seizures, as well as other comforts aimed at managing [signssymptoms.org]
Anti-convulsant drugs such as carbamazepine, valproic acid, phenobarbital, clonazepam, ethusuximide, primidone, phenytoin, corticotropin, and corticosteroid drugs are being used to help prevent and control seizures associated with Epilepsy. [rarediseases.org]
