The topic Partial Trisomy 2p Syndrome you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Chromosome 2p Duplication Syndrome.

Quick Summary:

  • Chromosome 2p Duplication Syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of a small piece of chromosome 2 in the cells of the body leading to a set of associated signs and symptoms. These may be mild or severe, depending on several factors such as the amount of genetic material gained (duplicated), the number of genes affected, and the function of the affected genes
  • The condition affects newborn children (congenital manifestation). In 2p Duplication Syndrome, there is duplication of chromosomal material on the short arm (p) of one of the chromosomes 2 (there are two chromosome 2s). Typically, small duplications do not present any major or significant health concerns. When large duplications are noted, the presentations may be severe. This chromosomal anomaly may develop from sporadic mutations (vast majority of cases), or it may be rarely inherited from one’s parents
  • 2p Duplication Syndrome may be diagnosed through specialized genetic testing. In some children, the condition may be mild and hence can also remain undiagnosed. The signs and symptoms commonly observed in individuals with the syndrome include developmental delays, intellectual disability, behavioral issues, and distinctive facial features
  • Following a diagnosis, Chromosome 2p Duplication Syndrome may be managed based on the presenting symptoms and extent of involvement of the body systems. The treatment may involve physician experts from several specialties, and can include the use of hearing and vision aids, seizure control, physiotherapy, and surgery for correction of defects
  • The prognosis is primarily dependent on the severity of the disorder, and it varies from one child to another. Many children with Chromosome 2p Duplication Syndrome are able to cope well through adequate treatment and supportive care. Some of the signs and symptoms associated with the condition are known to improve with time
