DNA Damage as a Driver for Growth Delay: Chromosome Instability Syndromes with Intrauterine Growth Retardation

Figure 9

Anthropometric features at birth of chromosome instability syndromes with perinatal growth retardation. Comparison of the available growth data from SS, FA, NBS, and BS syndrome against birth data from the WHO’s growth standards for infants. Although mean height and weight values of NBS patients are found to be within normal percentiles according to WHO standards; there are several authors who refer to prenatal growth restriction [55, 63, 65, 79].
