[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friends baby was floppy and it was diagnosed as phelan-McDermid syndrome. [/quote] My kid has Phelan McDermid!! You don’t hear about it much. But I will say, if this is not a troll. You need to go see a doctor. The reality is that there are “syndromic” features that can signal that testing for a genetic syndrome is in order. And there are many syndromes that end up with a child with syndromic features — not just Down syndrome. Odds are your child is FINE. But you should point out your concerns. And getting tested for PPD/PPA may also be a good idea.[/quote] Exactly. Lots of genetic abnormalities with characteristic facial changes. Important to get diagnosed in case there are other health issues to watch out for, which could be anything from metabolic to cardiac, etc. Just see a doctor.[/quote]
