Question: What are the symptoms of Fine-Lubinsky syndrome ?
Answer: What are the signs and symptoms of Fine-Lubinsky syndrome? The signs and symptoms known to occur in people with Fine-Lubinsky syndrome (FLS) are based on reports of the few people who have been diagnosed and described in the medical literature. Numerous features have been reported and many of them vary among affected people. The key signs for diagnosis may include: non-synostotic brachycephaly or plagiocephaly (a deformity of the skull that is not due to bone fusion) structural brain anomalies abnormal electroencephalogram (EEG) intellectual disability deafness ocular (eye) abnormalities (cataracts or glaucoma) distinctive facial features (including a high/wide forehead; shallow eye orbits; a flat/round face; low-set, posteriorly-rotated ears; and an abnormally small mouth) body asymmetry, which may be present at birth (congenital) The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Fine-Lubinsky syndrome. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms.

Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common.
