Sotos syndrome
Sotos syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive growth during childhood, leading to tall stature and a larger head size. It is caused by mutations in the NSD1 gene, which plays a role in regulating growth and development. Children with Sotos syndrome may also experience developmental delays, learning difficulties, and distinctive facial features.
In addition to growth abnormalities, individuals with Sotos syndrome may have other health issues, such as heart defects or seizures. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms and support development. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is essential for addressing the various challenges associated with this condition.
