Sotos Syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by accelerated bone development, abnormal craniofacial morphology and psychomotor developmental retardation. The behavioral problems usually associated with the syndrome include poor social skills, anxiety and/or irritability. Oral findings include prognathism and a high-arched palate with premature eruption of the teeth. Delayed psychomotor development increases the risk for caries. A personalized preventive treatment plan with close supervision of the patient's oral health care is required. This paper documents a child diagnosed with Sotos Syndrome and describes the primary clinical features, the disease-specific craniofacial, oral and dental findings, and dental care management of this patient.

Background: Sotos syndrome (SS) is a rare disorder characterized by overgrowth, distinctive facial features, and intellectual disability that is primarily caused by NSD1 pathogenic variants or 5q35 microdeletions.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and 339 anthropometric measurements over an average of 4.3 years of follow-up in 57 Korean children with SS.

Aberrant Fetal Brain Sulcus Formation: A Clue to the Diagnosis of Sotos Syndrome.

Prenat Diagn

December 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Objective: This study aims to elucidate two distinct fetal ultrasound features associated with aberrant brain sulcus formation as potential prenatal markers for Sotos syndrome caused by mutations in the NSD1 gene.

Method: This retrospective study investigated three fetuses across two pregnancies, including a pair of monochorionic diamniotic twins, all diagnosed with Sotos syndrome via whole exome sequencing (WES). Comprehensive clinical and laboratory data were collected and analyzed.

Germline variants in the NSD1 gene are responsible for Sotos syndrome, while somatic variants promote neoplastic cell transformation. Our previous studies revealed three alternative RNA isoforms of present in fibroblast cell lines (FBs): the canonical full transcript and 2 alternative transcripts, termed AT2 (NSD1 Δ5Δ7) and AT3 ( Δ19-23 at the 5' end). The precise molecular pathways affected by each specific isoform of are uncharacterized to date.
