Introduction:[edit | edit source]

Jacobsen syndrome (JS) is a rare contiguous gene syndrome caused by partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11 (1). It was first described by Jacobsen in 1973[1]. It is also known as 11q terminal deletion disorder because the deletion occurs at the end of the long (q) arm of chromosome 11.

Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]

Jacobsen Syndrome
  1. Growth retardation: weight and height below the 5th percentile[1].
  2. Craniofacial dysmorphism: trigonocephaly, high prominent forehead, flat occiput, thin and brittle hair, down slanting palpebral fissure, palpebral ptosis, epicanthal folds, iris coloboma, arched eyebrows, hyper telorism, small and low set ears, short nose with large and depressed nasal bridge, anteverted nostrils, down turning corners of the mouth, large mouth, high palate, dental anomalies, micrognathia[1].
  3. Limbs anomalies: brachydactyly, clinodactyly, comptodactyly, bilateral simian crease, clubfoot, muscular atrophy, stiff joints, pectus excavatum, dorsal scoliosis, lumbar lordosis[1].
  4. Neuromotor and psychiatric disabilities: delayed standing and walking, language learning difficulties, compulsive, hetero-aggressive and auto-aggressive behavior[1]. Increased possibility of autism spectrum disorder characterized by impaired socialization and communication skills[2].
  5. syndromic primary immune deficiency (SPID)[3].
  6. Most of the people with Jacobsen syndrome are diagnosed with  Paris-Trousseau syndrome which is a bleeding disorder[4].
  7. Additional signs and symptoms appears in puberty: primary amenorrhea, genital infantilism, repeated episodes of sinusitis[1].

Diagnostic Procedures[edit | edit source]

Diagnosis is based on clinical findings (thrombocytopenia, intellectual deficit, and facial dysmorphic features) and must be confirmed by cytogenetics analysis[5]

Management[edit | edit source]

Jacobsen syndrome is a chromosomal disorder in which children with JS will have a global developmental delays, presented by delayed motor and speech milestones. Hence, they should be referred to physical and/or occupational therapists in order to overcome the motor developmental delay[6].

Intensive neurodevelopmental treatment (Bobath approach) three times weekly, 60 minutes a day, for 3 months is recommended as it shows improved gross motor function and higher compliance than conventional NDT[7].

Differential Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Some of the clinical features of children with Jacobsen syndrome are shared with Tuner and Noonan syndrome; such as short and wide neck, short stature, ptosis, pulmonary or aortic stenosis, and down-slanting palpebral fissure. Some children with JS have had clinical diagnosis of Kabuki syndrome due to mental retardation, unusual palpebral fissures, short stature, and finger-pads[5].
