Overview
Young Simpson syndrome (YSS), is a rare congenital disorder with symptoms including hypothyroidism, heart defects, facial dysmorphism, cryptorchidism in males, hypotonia, mental retardation and postnatal growth retardation.[1][2]
Other symptoms include transient hypothyroidism, macular degeneration and torticollis.[3] The condition was discovered in 1987 and the name arose from the individuals who first reported the syndrome.[4][5] A individual with YSS has been identified with having symptoms to a similar syndrome known as Ohdo Blepharophimosis syndrome showing that it is quite difficult to diagnose the correct condition based on the symptoms present.[6] Some doctors therefore consider the syndrome to be the same. [7]
The mode of inheritance has had mixed findings based on studies undertaken.[5][8] One study showed that the parents of an individual with YSS are unrelated and phenotypically normal, indicating a sporadic mutation, thus making it difficult to base the cause of the condition on genetic make up alone.[5] Another study however with an individual of YSS had first cousins as parents, giving the possibility of autosomal recessive inheritance.[8]
