Schinzel–Giedion syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe developmental delay, distinctive facial features, and multiple congenital anomalies. It is caused by mutations in the SETBP1 gene, which plays a role in chromatin remodeling and gene expression.

Clinical Features[edit]

Individuals with Schinzel–Giedion syndrome typically present with a range of clinical features, including:

Genetics[edit]

Schinzel–Giedion syndrome is caused by de novo mutations in the SETBP1 gene located on chromosome 18. These mutations are typically not inherited from the parents but occur spontaneously. The SETBP1 gene is involved in regulating the expression of other genes, and mutations can disrupt normal development.

Diagnosis[edit]

Diagnosis of Schinzel–Giedion syndrome is based on clinical evaluation and confirmed by genetic testing. The presence of characteristic physical features and developmental delays may prompt genetic testing to identify mutations in the SETBP1 gene.

Management[edit]

There is no cure for Schinzel–Giedion syndrome, and treatment is primarily supportive. Management may include:

Prognosis[edit]

The prognosis for individuals with Schinzel–Giedion syndrome is generally poor, with many affected individuals experiencing severe health challenges and reduced life expectancy. Early intervention and supportive care can improve quality of life.
