Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is characterized by severe growth and mental retardation, microcephaly, seizures and 'Greek helmet' facies, caused by partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4. Growth charts are given from 0-4 years of age, based on the study of 101 individuals. Use of these specific growth charts is recommended, because standard growth charts are inapplicable for patients with WHS.
沃尔夫-赫希霍恩综合征的特征为严重的生长发育迟缓和智力障碍、小头畸形、癫痫发作以及“希腊头盔”面容,由4号染色体短臂部分缺失所致。基于对101名个体的研究,给出了0至4岁的生长图表。建议使用这些特定的生长图表,因为标准生长图表不适用于沃尔夫-赫希霍恩综合征患者。
