printer friendly SOTOS SYNDROME home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Sotos syndrome: cerebral gigantism in childhood In this rare syndrome babies are generally significantly larger and heavier than average caused by excessive pre-natal and early post-natal growth. Characteristics include macrocephaly (large head) with accelerated bone maturation, delayed development and language problems, widely spaced eyes, prominent jaw, and high arched palate. Intelligence varies from normal to mild learning disability. Children may be clumsy or ataxic (unsteady). Growth rate usually slows at 4-5 years. Early adolescent development usually occurs. Adults are usually within normal height parameters. Weaver syndrome is a condition characterised by: accelerated growth; mild hypotonia ; loose skin; thin hair; and camptodactyly (permanent immobility of a flexed finger joint). Inheritance patterns Most cases are sporadic mutations. Once established inheritance is autosomal dominant. Weaver syndrome inheritance probably has some pattern of inheritance though this has not been fully determined. Pre-natal diagnosis Macrocephaly, large hands, long arms and excessive growth are detectable using ultrasound scanning. Genetic counselling is available for affected families.

Large Heads (Macrocephaly) The average head circumference at birth is 33-35 cm and grows about 2 cm per month. Head circumferences should be measured at each visit and plotted on a growth chart. Although head size often follows body growth, small infants may have large heads and vice versa. It is not unusual for the head circumference to cross percentiles during the first year of life, but if the infant has a large head, other family membersí heads should be measured and plotted and a full developmental assessment and examination should be performed. Large heads are often a familial feature. The posterior fontanel usually closes at 6-8 weeks of life and the anterior fontanel between 12-18 months. Evaluation History Developmental assessment Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure-lethargy, poor feeding, irritability, vomiting History of trauma, prematurity, infections. Family history of neurologic disorders Physical examination findings split sutures and bulging anterior fontanel prominent veins setting sun eyes Abnormal tone and increased DTRs thorough skin inspection including evaluation for midline spinal lesions.

Sotos Syndrome Survey Analysis Walter Gilbert Background Sotos Syndrome is a rare genetic condition marked by rapid physical growth which begins before birth and extends thru the first years of life. It is also called cerebral gigantism because of the distinctive shape and size of the head. Unfortunately, this rapid physical development is usually accompanied by delayed motor, cognitive and social development. Muscle tone is low and speech is significantly impaired. See more information at: Sotos syndrome: What is it? Also unfortunately, while Sotos syndrome is classified as a genetic condition, there is no genetic test which can confirm a diagnosis. There is a very active, international community of parents of children who have been diagnosed as having classic Sotos or being Sotos-like . It is centered around an e-mail list; current and archived messages are available at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sotosyndrome/ Analyses Having belonged to the Sotos e-mail list for about a year, it became apparent to me that many of the affected children shared traits and symptoms as diverse as eye color, dental problems, and bowel movement abnormalities. Therefore, in November, 2000, I developed a 40-question survey which was e-mailed to the Sotos list. To date [May, 2001], I have received just over 60 responses. I have entered these into a large spreadsheet and have done some analysis which will be presented here. These web pages will likely change often as new responses are received and more analysis is conducted.

Erikoislääkäri Maarit Peippo Väestöliiton perinnöllisyysklinikka 2002 Sotosin oireyhtymästä Avainsanat (synonyymit): Sotos, Sotosin oireyhtymä, Sotosin syndrooma, Sotos syndrome, cerebral gigantism Sotosin oireyhtymälle hyvin tyypillisiä ulkonäköpiirteitä ovat kupera, leveä ja korkea otsa, pitkänomainen kallon muoto, pitkä ja kärkeensä kapeneva leuka, ylöskaartuvat kulmakarvat ja hiukan alaspäin suuntautuvat luomiraot. Hiusraja on tavallista ylempänä ja nuorempana tukka on etenkin ohimoseudussa harvaa ja heikkokasvuista. Nenän, leuan ja poskien ihopunotus yleistä. Sotosin oireyhtymässä kasvu on nopeinta varhaislapsuudessa. Kasvulle ominaista on vartaloon nähden suhteellisesti pitkät raajat ja pituuteen nähden usein isot kämmenet ja jalkaterät. Vaikka lopullinenkin pituus on usein keskimääräistä suurempi ei odotettavissa kuitenkaan ole jättikasvua. Sotos tytöillä kuukautiset näyttävät tulevan hiukan keskimääräistä nuorempana kun taas Sotos-pojilla murrosikäkehitys näyttää alkavan keskimääräistä myöhemmin. Tutkittua tietoa Sotos-henkilöitten hedelmällisyydestä ei ole, harvinaisista yksittäistapauksista kertova tieto ei puhu normaaleja lapsensaantimahdollisuuksia vastaan. Sisäelinten rakennepoikkeavuudet kuten sydänviat ovat Sotosin oireyhtymässä vain vähän yleisempiä kuin väestössä keskimäärin. Varhaislapsuudessa välikorva- ja hengitystietulehdukset ovat tavallisia. Ruoansulatuselimistön tavallisia oireita ovat lisääntynyt ruokahalu ja juominen sekä ummetus. Virtsatulehduksia ja virtsan takaisinvirtausta rakosta virtsanjohtimiin (ns vesikoureteraalinen refluks, VUR) on esiintynyt noin viidenneksellä. Hoitoa vaativaa lattajalkaisuutta ja selän ryhtivirheitä voi kehittyä. Noin puolella Sotos-lapsista on epilepsiaa tai kuumekouristuksia. Nämä kohtausoireet eivät yleensä ole suuri hoito-ongelma. Silmien taittovirheet ovat tavallisia, mutta näkövammaisuus hyvin poikkeuksellista. Kuulovammaisuuskaan ei ole yleistä Sotosissa.

PEDIATRICS SAMPLE QUESTIONS (Click here to return to order form) QUESTION 6. A 2-year-old boy is currently above the 97th percentile for length and weight. His neonatal history is significant for a birth weight of 4200 grams at 36 weeks gestation, severe hypoglycemia requiring glucocorticoid treatment, polycythemia, respiratory distress due to airway obstruction and omphalocele. In addition to routine well child care, what other screening should be done on an ongoing basis? A) Glucose tolerance test to detect early diabetes B) EEG to detect subtle seizures C) Head CT scan to detect ventriculomegaly D) Renal ultrasound to detect Wilms tumor E) CBC to detect aplastic anemia ANSWER 6. D Renal ultrasound to detect Wilms tumor This child has Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, which presents in the neonate with macrosomia, refractory hypoglycemia, polycythemia, macroglossia which may obstruct the airway and require surgical reduction, and omphalocele. Other characteristic findings include nevus flammeus of the forehead, large fontanels, prominent occiput and prominent metopic ridge. Because there is an increased incidence of Wilms tumor and of hepatoblastoma in these children, they require monitoring with renal ultrasounds and alpha fetoprotein throughout childhood. Other causes of neonatal macrosomia include maternal diabetes, Sotos Syndrome (cerebral gigantism), Weaver Syndrome and Marshall-Smith Syndrome. The long term prognosis of children with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome is good if the early hypoglycemia is adequately treated.

The TIF1 gene family T ranscriptional I ntermediary F actors 1) are members of a family of transcriptional regulators that play a role in controlling cell growth, differentiation and development in both mammals and Drosophila ) . Included in this family are several human proto-oncoproteins (hTIF1 and hTIF1 ) , and at least two developmental regulatory proteins (mTIF1 and dBonus) ( ) -, the TIF1 proteins have been found to be associated with chromatin ( ). Recent studies on one member of the family (mTIF1 ) have provided evidence for a dynamic nuclear distribution into the eu- versus heterochromatic compartments which is regulated during cell differentiation ( ). Several of the TIF1 family members (mTIF1 and dBonus) have been shown to possess intrinsic kinase activity ( ), whilst all of them can silence transcription when tethered to DNA through fusion to an heterologous DNA binding domain ( ). In the case of mTIF1 and mTIF1 , an epigenetic mechanism of control has been suggested by the finding of an association with members of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family ( ), a class of nonhistone chromosomal proteins with a well-established function in heterochromatin-mediated silencing. We have recently described a network of protein-protein interactions involving the HP1 proteins themselves and HP1 contacts with the core histone H3 (
