Question 2 of 30

Are you familiar with Jacobsen syndrome?

"I am familiar with the disorder, but have never directly cared for a patient with the syndrome. It's my understanding that Jacobsen syndrome results from a loss of genetic material at the end of the long arm of chromosome 11. It results in varying symptoms, but most individuals experience delayed development in motor skills and speech, learning difficulties, and some behavioral problems."
