Levels range from profound learning difficulties to normal ability. Characteristic behaviour patterns include hyperactivity, shyness and stubbornness. There is anecdotal evidence of an association between Autism and Dubowitz syndrome. However, no formal psychological studies have been undertaken to confirm or refute this association.

Babies born with a normal weight are commonly severely delayed in their growth.

Home Information Message Board Listserv ... Links What is Dubowitz Syndrome? D ubowitz syndrome is a malformation syndrome defined by prenatal and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, and a characteristic facial appearance. First described in 1965 by Dr. Victor Dubowitz, the condition was further defined by Dr. John Opitz who proposed the designation Dubowitz syndrome It is present at birth and is thought to be caused by a single defective gene. Neither the location of the gene nor the pathogenesis by which the diverse manifestations are produced are yet known. The condition is not caused by anything the parents did or did not do. It is present in the fetus from the beginning of that individual's development. Originally believed to be very rare, it is now thought that Dubowitz syndrome may not be as rare as it is under-diagnosed. As awareness of the syndrome increases, affected individuals are being diagnosed in greater numbers. It is our hope that this material will help to promote public awareness of the syndrome and provide families and others with easily accessible information in layman's terms.

Home Information Message Board Listserv ... NEXT - Diagnosis, defining manifestations What Is Dubowitz Syndrome? (Part 2) First descriptions . . . In 1965, Dr. Victor Dubowitz of the University of Sheffield, England published a paper [31] describing a young girl with pre- and postnatal growth retardation, microcephaly, unusual facial features, and a history of eczema occurring on her face and insides of her knees and elbows. Dr. Dubowitz noted that an older female sibling of the child, who had exhibited a similar facial appearance, had died at 3 months of age. The sister's birth weight had been only 4 lb., and although she had shown no eczema, she did have some webbing between her toes. Based on the similar features of the two siblings, Dr. Dubowitz suggested their condition may represent a distinct and recognizable autosomal recessive syndrome. He went on to compare his patient to a number of other patients described in previous literature, and questioned whether the new condition might represent a variation of a previously described syndrome. In 1971, Dr. John Opitz and Dr. Frank Gross of the University of Wisconsin Medical School, in collaboration with Dr. Robert Gorlin of the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, published a paper [53] elaborating on the condition described by Dr. Dubowitz through the presentation of three additional patients. Following intensive study, Dr. Opitz concluded that the condition was a distinct and unique genetic syndrome, and proposed the designation of

Multiple organ systems are affected and the disorder is unpredictable and extremely variable in its expression. Symptoms may be detected while the fetus is still in the uterus (intrauterine) as well as immediately after birth (neonatal). Facial appearance is a key to the diagnosis, with characteristic high or sloping forehead; sparse hair; flat, undeveloped (hypoplastic) bones above the eyes (supraorbital ridges); increased distance between the eyes (ocular hypertelorism); drooping eyelids (ptosis); sparse (hypoplastic) lateral eyebrows; very small lower jaw (micrognathia) and receding chin (retrognathia). Affected children are often hyperactive, stubborn and shy.
