Scope note: Trastorno causado por una microsupresión hemicigótica de aproximadamente 28 genes del cromosoma 7q11.23, incluido el gen de la ELASTINA. Las manifestaciones clínicas incluyen ESTENOSIS AÓRTICA SUPRAVALVULAR, RETRASO MENTAL, cara de elfo, trastorno de las capacidades constructivas visuespaciales e HIPERCALCEMIA transitoria en la infancia. La afección afecta a ambos sexos, con comienzo al nacimiento o en la primera infancia.

Scope note: A disorder caused by hemizygous microdeletion of about 28 genes on chromosome 7q11.23, including the ELASTIN gene. Clinical manifestations include SUPRAVALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS; MENTAL RETARDATION; elfin facies; impaired visuospatial constructive abilities; and transient HYPERCALCEMIA in infancy. The condition affects both sexes, with onset at birth or in early infancy.
