The symptoms of CDD include early infantile onset refractory epilepsy; hypotonia; developmental, intellectual, and motor disabilities, with little or no speech; and cortical visual impairment. [1] Patients usually present first with seizures within the first months of life, followed by infantile spasms which progress to epileptic seizures that ...
Hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone [1] (the amount of tension or resistance to stretch in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength.
The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM F78.A1 became effective on October 1, 2022. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of F78.A1 - other international versions of ICD-10 F78.A1 may differ.

The weakness is indicated as hypotonia, or lack of muscle tone, which can make an infant seem unstable. [1] [5] Eventually, most patients develop joint contractures or fixed joint deformities. [6] Children may be slow with their motor skills; such as rolling over, sitting up or walking, or may not even reach these milestones of life. Some of ...

[3] [4] [6] Infants and young children often experience difficulties relating to hypotonia, feeding issues/failure to thrive, infections, surgical repair of heart and palate defects and developmental delays.

The disorder may be accompanied by autism, [1] mild intellectual disability, delayed motor, cognitive, and social development, hypotonia (low muscle tone), and speech impairments. Children with Sotos syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have relatively large skulls ( macrocephaly ) than is normal for their age.
The ATR-X locus spans the control center Xist, which regulates X-inactivation. [10] When there is a XH2 mutation in the ATR-X locus, this indicates Xist to inactivate the chromosome increasing the amount of heterochromatin in males. [10] Epigenetics is also present among transcriptional regulators.
Children are born with this condition and their symptoms can be seen immediately. [2] In the early stages these can appear quite mild; weak muscle tone (often extreme hypotonia), lack of neonatal reflexes, seizures and abnormal (dysmorphic) facial features such as widely spaced eyes, a low nasal bridge, low set ears and an abnormally large forehead.
