Question 1

is pallister killian syndrome curable?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, no.: Pallister-killian syndrome is a rare condition where some cells in the body have an unusual, extra chromosome (mosiac isochromosome 12p). This abnormal chromosome, present before birth, affects the growth and development of the whole body throughout one's lifetime, usually resulting in birth defects and mental retardation. See http://ghr.Nlm.Nih.Gov/condition/pallister-killian-mosaic-syndrome.

Question 2

do people with pallister killian syndrome have a lot of pain?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Pallister-killian syndrome is a rare genetic condition caused by a chromosomal rearrangement that may cause birth defects, like cleft palate. Children and adults with this condition may be very mildly affected, or they may have many serious problems that will require multiple surgeries. Go to http://www.Pkskids.Net/ to connect with families who have, like you, worried about this important question.

Question 3

can pallister killian syndrome be cured?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I think you mean foster kennedy syndrome in which an enlarging brain tumor obstructs one optic nerve causing atrophy to that nerve, and also causes elevation of the pressure in the brain causing optic nerve edema (papilledema) in the other nerve.  This is a rare circumstance which requires immediate attention by a neuro-ophthalmologist or neurosurgeon.

Question 4

do doctors see a lot of patients with pallister killian syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally: Patients with pallister killian are not common. It is recognized by coarse features, sparse hair development and decreased muscle tone. It is associated with development delays and intellectual impairment. It can be very pronounced or mild id appearance.

Question 5

my son is 2 years old and developmently closer to 1. he possibly has pallister killian syndrome.  when should we know how delayed he'll remain.? age ?

Accepted Answer

Developmental pace: At young ages faster and slower developmental paces can be related to lots of different things.  A developmental pediatrician can check his developmental level and give you recommendstions of activities to help support his development at his natural pace.  Don't worry.  Give him an environment rich in healthy experiences.  Create a play group with 1 or 2 other children so he can learn from others.

Question 6

how to wean child with pks syndrome?

Accepted Answer

?: Pks is an extremely rare congenital syndrome; i'm not sure what the question is about weaning with relationship to this.

Question 7

lenox gastaut syndrome average life expectancy?

Accepted Answer

Haven't seen numbers: Haven't seen any numbers on life expectancy of lennox-gastaut patients. Maybe nobody has collected and published that information. One website reported a 3%-7% mortality in patients over a 9 year period (that sounds like 1/2 % per year). The deaths were often due to accidents. In such disorders, if a person is watched and cared for closely, he can outlive parents, and die of other natural causes.

Question 8

what is the life expectancy with triple x syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Life expectancy should be normal. There are no effects that affect heart, or other major systems that would reduce life expectancy.

Question 9

what is the life expectancy for kids with noonan syndrome?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: Children with Noonan's Syndrome may have cardiac abnormalities such as pulmonic stenosis, ASD (atrial septal defect), VSD (ventricular septal defect). If these abnormalities are mild, then the life expectancy may be normal.

Question 10

what is the life expectancy for people with loeys-dietz syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Not Known: This  disease has been diagnosed in about 300-500 people and is known as a disease entity only since 2005. Life expectancy is expected to increase like in Marfan's syndrome with improved awareness and medical progress.

Due to the high risk of death from aortic aneurysm rupture, patients should be followed closely.
