Syndrome with characteristics of multiple congenital abnormalities, intellectual disability and delayed development of skills such as sitting and walking. Characteristic facial features include a round face, thick hair, synophrys, wide-set, bulging eyes with long eyelashes, a short nose and down-turned corners of the mouth. Patent ductus arteriosus is present in most cases. Obstructive sleep apnea is a common feature. Cases are usually shorter than more than 97 percent of their peers and are overweight for their height. Other features include microcephaly, hearing loss, cataract, single horseshoe-shaped kidney and cryptorchidism. Caused by mutations in the AFF4 gene thought to result in excessive AFF4 protein, which interferes with normal pauses in transcription.
