概要 |
Weaver syndrome (WS) is an overgrowth syndrome, characterized by tall stature, a typical facial appearance, and variable intellectual disability. Although there is phenotypic overlap between Weaver syndrome and Sotos syndrome, WS patients have additional clinical features including camptodactyly, doughy skin, umbilical hernia, and a low hoarse cry. Recently, mutations in the histone methyltransferase, EZH2, were shown to cause WS.
