Jacobsen syndrome
Jacobsen syndrome, or the 11q deletion syndrome, is a genetic mutation caused by the deletion of certain genes on chromosome 11.[1] The number of deleted genes can total anywhere from 5 million to 16 million pairs of a person's DNA.
Effects
The effects of Jacobsen include brain development issues, unique facial features, and often a bleeding disorder called the Paris-Trousseau syndrome.
