Presentation
The patient presented with persistent headaches and a 2-year history of progressive hand, arm, and face numbness. [thejns.org]
Low birth weight may be present. Other clinical features include retrognathia, a narrow face, and dysplastic ears. Mental retardation may also be present. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive transmission. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

The objective is to present two unrelated patients with a 10-year-old male and female patients with Meier Gorlin syndrome type 1, the latter being the second report in the Mexican population. [go.gale.com]
Entire Body System
- Short Stature
Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Key words: Meier Gorlin Syndrome, "ear-knee-short stature" syndrome, ORC1 gene, 1p32, MGS Get Full Access Gale offers a variety of resources for education, lifelong learning, and academic research. [go.gale.com]
It is characterised by proportional short stature, low birth weight, dysmorphic facial appearance, and mental retardation. [cambridge.org]
Osteodysplastic Bird-Headed Dwarfism Type III (Osteodysplastic Primordial Dwarfism Type III): Characterized by short stature, microcephaly, and a “beak-like” nose. Retrognathia, a narrow face, receding forehead, and alopecia have been reported. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
- Surgical Procedure
The effected child died at the age of three years secondary to respiratory complications sustained under general anesthesia during a minor surgical procedure. [contemporaryobgyn.net]

Males with Seckel syndrome may have testes that do not lower properly (cryptorchidism). Affected females may have a large clitoris (clitoromegaly). In addition, affected children may have increased body hair (hirsutism). [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
The patient died 1 year later of complications related to treatment of a rapidly progressing intracranial aneurysm. This report documents the first case associating moyamoya and Seckel syndromes. [thejns.org]

Prevention
Although the lack of biological samples from the Jawad family prevented us from analyzing the predicted appearance of the shorter species of CtIP mRNA and protein in this case, we hypothesize that in each disease, the causative mutation leads to a transcript [journals.plos.org]
