In general 70% of sSMC carriers are clinically normal. The figures listed above

are based on the bias, that mainly clinically aberrant cases are studied and reported in literature!

Born via C-section at 40 weeks due to breech presentation. At birth cyanotic and floppy with left positional torticollis. DYS: anteverted nostrils, epicanthal folds, high arched palate. Also sloped shoulders, and pectoral muscles smaller than normal. Cardiology followed for 5 years due to a combination of a slight heart murmur when she was born (resolved), a slight twisting of the descending aorta; at 5y no heart problems detected. At 3y strabismus in her left eye and moderate pronation. Also in first years susceptibility to respiratory infections, and developed obstructive sleep apnea. At 5y height ~75th percentile, weight ~80-85th percentiles and mild eczema. Gross motor milestones were delayed; at 6y able to walk, run, and jump.Still severe language disorder, and moderate-severe receptive language disorder with major articulation difficulties. Poor fine motor skills; suggested to have dyspraxia. Diagnosed as ‘untypical autistic’, and a school system test diagnosed her as having an IQ of 76

At 34 m: failure to thrive, dysfunctional swallowing, and generalized hypotonia; gross motor development delayed, but fine motor coordination, expressive language, and problem solving were appropriate for age. On follow-up at 13 months, the patient's weight was 6730 g (5. percentile) and height was 68'5 cm (5. percentile); percutaneous gastrostomy tube for feeding.

At 14 m DD and some dysmorphic features. Born at 39 weeks gestation after uncomplicated pregnancy; at birth small and broad hands and feet as well as low set ears were noted. At 14 months coarse round facies, full cheeks, slight upslanted palpebral fissures, convergent strabismus, micrognathia, high and narrow palate, low set ears, brachycephaly, broad neck and chest, pectus excavatum, widely spaced nipples and normal external genitalia. He had broad and short hands and feet, brachydacyly of fingers and toes, as well as 2nd/3rd syndactyly and clinodactyly of 5th fingers. Neurological examination normal. Developmental delay with poor social contact. Radiologic studies confirmed brachycephaly, short hands showing coarse metacarpal bones, slight platyspondyly and mild generalized osteoporosis.
The mother had a borderline IQ, a coarse facies with upslanting palpebral fissures and broad nose with hypoplastic nares. She had a short neck, asymmetric thorax with rib retraction and hypoplasia on the left side, with lowering of left shoulder. There was a slight pectus excavatum and hypoplasia of the pectorals muscle. The radiological studies confirmed the described skeletal anomalies, as well as platyspondyly. The father was normal.
