Sometimes the signs of this syndrome can be found when the baby is in the stomach. To be diagnosed the doctor would have to examine the baby carefully so signs are discovered. It is suspected to be a ribosomopathy (Any disease or malfunction of ribosomes or cell organelles that consist of RNA and proteins ), where a genetic abnormally causes impaired ribosome biogenesis & function resulting in a special clinical prototype.

However, primary findings may include premature closure of the fibrous joints between certain bones of the skull, unusually flat, underdeveloped midfacial regions abnormally broad great toes, and/or malformation or fusion of certain bones within the feet. In some cases, Jackson-Weiss Syndrome may result from new genetic changes that appear to occur randomly for unknown reasons. In other affected individuals, the disorder may be inherited.

People with Achondroplasia also have breathing problems, during this breathing either stops or slows down for short amounts of time.

The scientific symptoms of cri du chat syndrome frequently contain a high-pitched cat-like cry, psychological retardation, late development, characteristic facial structures, small head size (microcephaly), widely-spaced eyes (hypertelorism), low birth weight and weak muscle tone
abnormally large head, distinct facial features, bulging forehead, upper jaw, cheekbones, and eye sockets grow less than the other parts of the face, and difficulty breathing.
Having certain eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness or myopia also makes you a candidate for developing this eye condition.

My son is one of the children that had lasting effects from this disease. He suffers from a sensory disorder that was caused by my postpartum depression after he was born.
