Additional Information:

Clinical Description OMIM Sotos et al. (1964) described 5 children with a disorder characterized by excessively rapid growth, acromegalic features, and a nonprogressive cerebral disorder with mental retardation. High-arched palate and prominent jaw were noted in several of them. Birth length ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In patients with Sotos syndrome harboring a chromosomal translocation, Kurotaki et al. (2002) isolated the NSD1 (606681) gene from the 5q35 breakpoint. They identified 1 nonsense, 3 frameshift, and 20 submicroscopic deletion mutations of NSD1 among 42 sporadic ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews The clinical diagnosis of Sotos syndrome can be made if an individual has a characteristic facial gestalt, a learning disability, and overgrowth [Rio et al 2003, Turkmen et al 2003, Cecconi et al 2005, Faravelli 2005, Tatton-Brown et al 2005b, Waggoner et al 2005]. Based on the analysis of more than 500 individuals with an NSD1 abnormality, these three cardinal features were shown to occur in at least 90% of affected individuals [Tatton-Brown et al 2005b]. Where an individual does not fulfill all three clinical criteria, the clinical suspicion of Sotos syndrome can be confirmed with genetic testing (see Molecular Genetic Testing). ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Based on a review of 230 persons with NSD1 abnormalities, the clinical features of Sotos syndrome were classified as cardinal features (occurring in at least 90% of affected individuals), major features (occurring in 15%-89%), and associated features (occurring in ≥2% and <15% of persons) [Tatton-Brown et al 2005b]. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Through evaluation of 234 individuals with Sotos syndrome with an NSD1 abnormality, it has been shown that, in general, individuals with a 5q35 microdeletion have less overgrowth and more severe learning disability than individuals with an intragenic mutation [Tatton-Brown et al 2005b]....

Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with Sotos syndrome, the following evaluations are recommended [Tatton-Brown & Rahman 2007]:...
