See below: Wolf–hirschhorn syndrome (whs), also known as chromosome deletion dillan 4p syndrome, pitt-rogers-danks syndrome (prds) or pitt syndrome.
The most common characteristics include a distinct craniofacial phenotype (microcephaly, micrognathia, short philtrum, prominent glabella, ocular hypertelorism, dysplastic ears and periauricular tags), growth and mental retardation, muscle hypotonia, & seizures.

Question 2

what are common features of someone with wolf?hirschhorn syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Varies.: There are very few "syndromes" with only one appearance, or have a unique characteristic that immediately allows diagnosis at a glance in all cases.  Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome is so rare, most of us have never heard of it. Glad you asked, so I could find out too!  Here's a helpful page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf%E2%80%93Hirschhorn_syndrome

Question 4

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

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.

Question 7

what's the life expectancy for trisomy x syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Normal: These women appear no different from any other and have no special problems.

Question 8

what is the life expectancy for patients with apert syndrome?

Accepted Answer

Normal: before neurosurgeons learned how to open prematurely fused skull sutures, patients who went untreated would have severe effects from constricting the brain, since the skull could not enlarge fast enough to accommodate the growing brain. When treated early, the brain is allowed to grow normally.

Question 9

what would the life expectancy of a patient with aspergers syndrome be?

Accepted Answer

Normal exectancy: Individuals with aspergers disorder do not have any specific related conditions that would shorten the life span of an affected individual.

Question 10

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.
