Extractions: helpful? yes no Jacobsen syndrome was first described in 1973 by a Danish geneticist, Dr Petrea Jacobsen. It is a rare chromosomal condition which affects about one in every 100,000 births. Jacobsen syndrome is associated with a recognisable pattern of features. The children are usually of a pleasant disposition with a characteristic face, somewhat more pear shaped than normal. However, there is also some developmental delay which basically means learning difficulties (see entry, Learning Disability ) varying from mild to more severe; speech and language may also be slow to develop and growth may be slower. However, heart problems such as an enlarged left heart syndrome (see entry, Heart Defects ) can be more debilitating, sometimes requiring surgery. Blood disorders, mainly in the form of easy bruising and prolonged bleeding due to low numbers of platelets (thrombocytopenia - reduction in the number of platelets present in the blood and refered to as Paris-Trousseau syndrome) are common. Gastrointestinal problems including a narrowing of the outlet from the stomach to the small intestine (pyloric stenosis) and frequent respiratory problems also are seen. Individuals with Jacobsen syndrome may show some or all of these features although there is great variability in the number and severity of symptoms.

Other disorders on the long arm can be found at the page with characteristics Jacobsen Syndrome Behaviour research Other information 1. Jacobsen Syndrome The European Chromosome 11q Network officially started 11 June 1997. Over the years it is shown that about 50 % of the children who became member of the Network are missing the last part of the long arm of chromosome 11 ; this is called 11q terminal deletion disorder or Jacobsen Syndrome. In 1997 the Network found contact to Dr Paul Grossfeld (San Diego, USA) who became the expert on children with a 11q terminal deletion disorder. On this page the 11q Network collects data on the 11q terminal deletion supported by Paul Grossfeld.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Chromosome 11, Partial Monosomy 11q is a rare chromosomal disorder in which a portion of the long arm (q) of chromosome 11 is missing (deleted or monosomic). The range and severity of symptoms may vary, depending upon the exact size and location of the deletion on 11q. Chromosome 11, Partial Monosomy 11q may be characterized by abnormally slow growth before and after birth (prenatal and postnatal growth retardation), mental retardation, and/or moderate to severe delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of mental and muscular activity (psychomotor retardation). Characteristic physical abnormalities may include malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area, abnormalities of the eyes, malformations of the hands and/or feet, and/or defects of the heart. The exact cause of Chromosome 11, Partial Monosomy 11q is not fully understood.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Triploid Syndrome is an extremely rare chromosomal disorder. Individuals with triploid syndrome have three of every chromosome for a total of sixty-nine rather than the normal forty-six chromosomes. Babies with Triploid Syndrome usually are lost through early miscarriage. However, some infants have been born and survived as long as five months. Affected infants are usually small and have multiple birth defects. Those that survive are usually mosaic, meaning that some cells have the normal number of 46 chromosomes and some cells have a complete extra set of chromosomes. Triploid Syndrome may include larger than normal size placenta, lack of prenatal skeletal growth, widely spaced eyes (ocular hypertelorism), low nasal bridge, low-set malformed ears and a smaller than normal sized jaw. The third and fourth fingers of the hands may be connected and the hands may have unusual simian creases. The infant may have congenital heart defects and genital abnormalities may be present in males. There may be abnormal brain development, lack of development of the adrenal glands and cystic kidneys. Growth of the brain or spinal cord outside of the body (neural tube defects), openings in the abdominal wall, an unusually shaped skull and cleft lip and/or palate have also been observed. There may also be liver and gallbladder deformities, twisted colon and finger and toe deformities. Individuals who are mosaic will survive longer than those with complete triploidy but usually have mental retardation.
