Jacobsen's Syndrome
Jacobsen's Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a deletion of genetic material on chromosome 11. This condition can lead to various physical and developmental challenges, including heart defects, growth delays, and distinctive facial features. Individuals with Jacobsen's Syndrome may also experience learning difficulties and behavioral issues.
The severity of symptoms can vary widely among affected individuals. Early diagnosis and intervention, including therapies and educational support, can help improve quality of life. Genetic counseling is often recommended for families to understand the condition and its implications.
