Characteristics include macrocephaly (large head) with accelerated bone maturation, delayed development and language problems, widely spaced eyes, prominent jaw, and high arched palate. Intelligence varies from normal to mild learning disability. Children may be clumsy or ataxic (unsteady). Growth rate usually slows at 4-5 years. Early adolescent development usually occurs. Adults are usually within normal height parameters. Weaver syndrome is a condition characterised by: accelerated growth; mild hypotonia ; loose skin; thin hair; and camptodactyly (permanent immobility of a flexed finger joint). Inheritance patterns

Extractions: The camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by the association of congenital or early onset camptodactyly and noninflammatory arthropathy with synovial hyperplasia, Progressive coxa vara deformity and/or noninflammatory pericardial or pleural effusions have been observed in some patients, Recently, the disease gene has been assigned to human chromosome region 1q25-q31, and truncating mutations have been identified in the megakaryocyte stimulating factor gene, Studying 12 patients from 8 unrelated families, we emphasized hip and spine involvement, particularly in the course of the disease as shown in a 58-year-old patient. Despite clinical variability, linkage studies support genetic homogeneity of the disease.

(Refer to the PDQ summary on Unusual Cancers of Childhood for more information about childhood renal cell carcinoma treatment.) The National Cancer Institute provides the PDQ pediatric cancer treatment information summaries as a public service to increase the availability of evidence-based cancer information to health professionals, patients, and the public. These summaries are updated regularly according to the latest published research findings by an Editorial Board of pediatric oncology specialists. Cancer in children and adolescents is rare. Children and adolescents with cancer should be referred to medical centers that have a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists with experience treating the cancers that occur during childhood and adolescence. This multidisciplinary team approach incorporates the skills of the primary care physician, pediatric surgical subspecialists, radiation oncologists, pediatric medical oncologists/hematologists, rehabilitation specialists, pediatric nurse specialists, social workers, and others in order to ensure that children receive treatment, supportive care, and rehabilitation that will achieve optimal survival and quality of life.

Endotext.com - Pediatric Endocrinology, Gigantism Sotos syndrome, also known as cerebral gigantism, was first described in 1964103.Since then, several hundred cases have been reported. http://www.endotext.org/pediatrics/pediatrics1b/pediatrics1b.htm
Extractions: I. INTRODUCTION Gigantism refers to a condition characterized by extreme physical size and stature. By definition, this originates during infancy, childhood or adolescence, while epiphyseal growth plates remain open. Although often used to specifically denote growth hormone excess, the term gigantism is also applied to a number of non-hormonally mediated overgrowth conditions in children. All forms of gigantism are extremely rare, and have in common a complex pathophysiologic origin and extraordinary clinical manifestations. Although many aspects of overgrowth disorders remain to be elucidated, insights into the molecular genetic basis of several forms of gigantism have contributed greatly to our understanding of specific mediators of growth and cellular function. Both growth hormone hypersecretion and overgrowth syndromes will be reviewed in this chapter. II. GROWTH HORMONE EXCESS . The major difference between these two conditions is that gigantism results from excessive GH production during the period of active growth, and acromegaly results from GH excess ensuing after epiphyseal fusion has occurred. A further distinction relates to the overall incidence of these disorders. While acromegaly is uncommon, occurring at an estimated worldwide annual rate of 2.8-4 cases per million
