A diagram illustrating the link between OGID syndromes and mouse models. A human silhouette labelled “OGID syndromes” lists ASD, ID, Overgrowth, Epilepsy, and Distinctive facial appearance. An arrow points to a mouse labeled “Mouse model,” branching into SS, MALNS, and TBRS models, each with a table of behavioural and neurological traits.

#sotossyndrome is not a deadly disease, but still needs a lot more research as to why the mutation of the NSD1 gene causes the overgrowth. With all of the firings and grants being cut, who knows when/if we’ll ever know.

One in 14,000 babies are born with #sotossyndrome. The cause is a mutation in the NSD1 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in normal growth and development. My kiddo is 11 and is 5’7” and 150lbs.

Even though this monstrosity of an administration canceled it, today is #rarediseaseday My kiddo has #sotossyndrome. It’s a rare genetic disorder that affects children and adults. It causes excessive growth during childhood and behavioral symptoms throughout life.
