What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Soto's Syndrome? Soto's syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive physical growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life. The disorder may be accompanied by mild mental retardation, delayed motor, cognitive, and social development, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and speech impairments. Children with Soto's syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have larger heads (macrocrania) than is normal for their age. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary among individuals, include a disportionately large and long head with a slightly protrusive forehead, large hands and feet, hypertelorism (an abnormally increased distance between the eyes), and downslanting eyes. Clumsiness, an awkward gait, and unusual aggressiveness or irritability may also occur. Although most cases of Soto's syndrome occur sporadically, familial cases have also been reported.

Sotos is one of the multitude of syndromes, in which height can be one of the symptoms. Its cause is thought to be genetic but, as the chromosome responsible has not been identified, there is no laboratory test to confirm the diagnosis. First described in 1964, the characteristics which lead toward a diagnosis include accelerated growth, facial characteristics, large hands and feet, poor co-ordination, and developmental delay. To date over 100 families are known to the Sotos Group in the UK, but it must be realised that many children are so mildly affected, that they remain undiagnosed, and live perfectly happy and normal lives. Some parents prefer not to inform schools and friends, in order for the child not to be "labelled", others will make the condition known, as it can help toward the provision of the proper support, such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, or attendance allowances. What follows is only the briefest outline of the symptoms which lead to a positive diagnosis. As always, it is important not to view each one in isolation, as they can occur singly, and independently of the syndrome, or as one of a number of symptoms, associated with a totally different condition.

The Sotos Syndrome Support Association provides a social support environment for professionals and families of individuals affected by the syndrome, so they can meet, exchange ideas and help one another cope. They provide an understanding of the condition through education. They publishes a quarterly newsletter, SSSA Newsletter , that offers opportunities for members to network, and share ideas. The newsletter also contains articles, and a current membership roster. The Sotos Syndrome Support Association has a bibliography of articles that are available to members and audio and video tapes of previous conferences that are available for purchase. They have a new 55-page booklet, "Sotos Syndrome," that contains a description of the syndrome from newborn to adulthood; medical and developmental evaluations; and a glossary of terms. The Association hosts annual conference which will be held August 9-11, 1996, in Santa Barbara, California. Call for further information. Further note: 1997 Conference will be held in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

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.

Sotos' syndrome Also known as:
Nevo's syndrome
Sotos' sequence
Synonyms:
Cerebral gigantism, cerebral gigantism in childhood, constitutional gigantism, gigantismus cerebralis, gigantismus constitutionalis, gigantismus idiopathicus, hypothalamic gigantism, macrostomia-mental retardation syndrome, mental retardation-overgrowth sequence, pituitary gigantism, prenatal gigantism with macrocephaly. Associated persons: S. Nevo Juan Fernandez Sotos Description: A syndrome of excessive growth during the first 4 to 5 years of life, with cerebral gigantism and generalised large muscles in childhood, acromegalic features, and a nonprogressive cerebral disorder with nonprogressive mild mental retardation and defective coordination. After early childhood growth seems to approach normal, remaining, however, two standard deviations above means for chronological age. Birth weight and length greater than normal. Other principal features are dolicocephaly, macrocrania, hypertelorism, antimongoloid palpebral slant, high-arched palate, frontal bossing, mandibular prognathism, and precocious dentition. Occasionally, obesity, convulsions, abnormal dermatoglyphic pattern. Both sexes. Most cases are sporadic but some are transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Sotos and collaborators in 1964 first defined this syndrome, which was already well known to paediatricians.

    SOTOS SYNDROME
    DEFINITION:
    An endocrine disorder of unknown etiology characterized by gigantism, peculiar facies, and mental retardation.
    EPIDEMIOLOGY:
    • incidence: rare (about 150 cases worldwide)
    • age of onset:
      • large at birth but diagnosis by 2-3 years
    • risk factors:
      • mostly sporadic but some autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive forms
      • M = F
      PATHOGENESIS:
      1. Background
      • unknown but abnormal dermatographics and large size at birth suggest a prenatal abnormality; there may be a role for some as yet unidentified growth-stimulating material
      • also called Cerebral Gigantism Syndrome
      CLINICAL FEATURES:
      1. Infancy/Childhood
      • birth weight and length usually greater than the 90th%
        • mean weight and height are 3.9 kg and 55.2 cm, respectively
      • may be respiratory and feeding problems in the neonatal period
      • during the first 4-5 years, there may be a rapid increase in height but then the height remains parallel to the normal growth curve along or greater than the 95th%

    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.

    SOTOS SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT
    Mohammed Alhumaidi, MD Address reprint requests and correspondence to Dr. Alhumaidi: Assistant Professor, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Abha Branch, P.O. Box 641, Abha, Saudi Arabia. Accepted for publication 2 May 1994. A four-year-old Saudi male was seen in the Endocrine Clinic of Asir Central Hospital because of a voracious appetite and excessive gain in weight. On examination, he had the typical phenotypic features of Sotos syndrome which included accelerated growth with height and weight more than three standard deviations (SD) above the mean. He had coarse facial features, prominent forehead, macrocephaly, large ears, hypertelorism and aplethoric face. He was frequently aggressive with advanced bone age of five years and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain indicated widening of the lateral ventricles. He had no features to suggest other forms of overgrowth such as Marfan syndrome, McCune-Albright syndrome or homocystinuria. Endocrine causes of excessive weight gain due to pituitary or adrenal hyperfunction have been ruled out by biochemical tests, computed tomography (CT), and MRI. We document the first case report of Sotos syndrome from Saudi Arabia.
