Typical features described in patients with PSS include developmental delay, intellectual disability, multiple cartilaginous exostoses, biparietal foramina, craniofacial abnormalities, and genitourinary anomalies.

Current literature implicates haploinsufficiency of three genes (ALX4, EXT2, and PHF21A) in causing some of the cardinal features of PSS.
