| Children who have
Jacobsen's Syndrome may have some of a number of symptoms, including
heart problems, speech and language problems, specific facial
characteristics and mild to severe mental retardation. They often have
ptosis (droopy eyes) and a broad bridge between the eyes, can have
problems with kidneys, heart, (ear-)infections and blood platelets. The
mental level differs: there are children with mild to severe mental
handicaps. This depends probably of length and place of the missing
piece of the chromosome. |
