Prader-willi syndrome physical appearance
Almond shaped eyes Triangular mouth Narrow forehead Short stature Depigmentation of skin and eyes
Why are ppl with marfan syndrome predisposed to spontaneous pneumothorax
tall, slender body type
DiGeorge syndrome inheritance
Autosomal dominant
BUT most often occurs randomly
Trisomy 18 appearance
Female Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR): low birth weight low set ears microcephaly small jaw/mouth prominent occipital
Who to screen for fragile X?
any male with intellectual disabilities
Complications from obesity (Prader-willi syndrome)
T2DM Heart disease Stroke Sleep apnea Joints Psychological
Osteogenesis Imperfecta precautions:
avoid lifting, pulling, holding, alcohol, smoking, steroid use
Marfan syndrome inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Patau syndrome appearnce
midline cleft lip and palate sloping forehead scalp defects (cutis aplasia) micro-ophthalmia holoprosencephaly
DiGeorge subtypes
Partial vs complete
Based on thymic hypoplasia and immune function
Blue iris
Fragile X
Activity restriction for marfan syndrome
no strenuous activity
Turner syndrome genetics
45, X Mosaicism: 45, X/46, XX 45, X/46, XY -partial or complete deletion of one X chromosome
DiGeorge triad
- Cardiac abnormalities (wide range)
- Hypoplastic thymus: T cell deficits
- Hypocalcemia
when is aneuploidy screening done
by 20 weeks gestation
Can Osteogenesis Imperfecta be detected prenatally?
Only Severe cases on maternal ultrasound
Cleft palate
DiGeorge syndrome Trisomy 13 (Patau)
Steinberg sign
thumb folded into a closed fist extends from the palm of the hand
MARFAN
Prader-willi syndrome is a ______ dysfunction
Hypothalamic or pituitary dysfunction
-primary central growth hormone deficiency
Turner syndrome GU
Female Streaked gonads (underdeveloped) Premature ovarian failure Primary amenorrhea (but small % can still get pregnant)
Fragile X behavior/IQ
Intellectual impairments Language delay: first words 18-20 months Motor delay: walk at 18-20 months Autism Hyperactivity Anxiety Behavior/tantrums Seizures Poor ability to cope with transitions
Turner syndrome management
Estrogen + cyclic progesterone therapy to stimulate puberty and assist with bone density (+/- growth hormone)

What are turner syndrome patients at higher risk for?
X-linked disorders: Hemophilia A/B
Other trisomy 13 concerns
Kidney defects
Congestive Heart Disease
Omphalocele
what exercise can Osteogenesis Imperfecta patients do
low impact: swimming
Other concerns in turner syndrome
Hypothyroidism hearing loss liver function abnormalities strabismus ADHD emotional and social difficulties
If prader-willi syndrome isn’t a paternal deletion, what is it?
maternal disomy: 2 copies inherited from mother
-milder, more autistic/higher IQ
Hypocalcemia
due to underdeveloped parathyroid
DiGeorge
Trisomy 18 MSK
hypertonia/spasticity
overlapping digits/clenched hands
rocker bottom foot deformity
short sternum
Walker-murdoch sign
thumb and fifth finger of the hand overlap when grasping the opposite wrist
MARFAN
Opalescent teeth
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Klinefelter syndrome management
Testosterone replacement
50% may be able to father a child with assistive technnology
Fragile X meds
apparently they have GERD even though she never mentioned it?
-treat GERD, feeding therapy
Pamidronate adverse effects
hypocalcemia
osteonecrosis of the jaw
nephrotoxicity
Progressive hearing loss
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Can turner syndrome patients conceive?
A small percentage can naturally.
In vitro fertilization with egg donation
→ increased risk of aortic dissection during pregnancy
Type II Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Most severe: prenatal lethal
Down syndrome pulmonary
pulmonary hypertension
intermittent hypoxia
obstructive sleep apnea
recurrent pneumonia
Osteogenesis Imperfecta inheritance
Autosomal dominant
“autosomal recessive subtypes”
Type III-IX Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Moderate-severe
Who can’t receive live vaccines
DiGeorge Syndrome (immunocompromised)
Turner syndrome appearance
short low hairline webbed neck broad chest with wide space nipples (shield chest) pigmented nevi cubitus valgus (wide carrying angle)
Prader-willi management
Replace HGH and testosterone/estrogen
Healthy diet/exercise, therapy, group home
