Learn About Marshall-Smith Syndrome

What is the definition of Marshall-Smith Syndrome?
Marshall-Smith syndrome (MRSHSS) is a genetic disorder in which individuals typically have advanced bone age, difficulties gaining weight (failure to thrive), unique facial features, and intellectual disability. Other signs and symptoms of this condition may include eye abnormalities, breathing difficulties, and neurological issues. Individuals may also have heart defects, an increased amount of body hair (hirsutism), and flat feet (pes planus). MRSHSS is caused by genetic changes in the NFIX gene. Most individuals with MRSHSS are the first in their family with this condition and are said to have a spontaneous (de novo) genetic change.
