Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial abnormalities, skeletal malformations, and intellectual disability. It is caused by a mutation in the PAPB gene. Symptoms may include a distinctive facial appearance, short stature, cleft palate, and heart defects. Treatment is symptomatic and may include physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and surgery.

The symptoms of Bartsocas-Papas syndrome vary from person to person, but may include:

-Developmental delay
-Intellectual disability
-Seizures
-Feeding difficulties
-Growth delays
-Hearing loss
-Vision problems
-Cleft lip and/or palate
-Heart defects
-Kidney abnormalities
-Abnormalities of the hands and feet
-Abnormalities of the face and skull
-Abnormalities of the spine
-Abnormalities of the nervous system
-Abnormalities of the gastrointestinal system
-Abnormalities of the genitourinary system
-Abnormalities of the skin

Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the ARVCF gene. This gene is responsible for the production of a protein called armadillo repeat containing 5 (ARVCF). Mutations in this gene can lead to a variety of symptoms, including skeletal abnormalities, heart defects, and intellectual disability.

The treatments for Bartsocas-Papas syndrome vary depending on the individual and the severity of the condition. Treatment may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medications to help manage symptoms. Surgery may be necessary to correct any physical deformities or to help improve mobility. In some cases, genetic counseling may be recommended to help families understand the condition and its implications.

The primary risk factor for Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is having a parent with the condition. Other risk factors include having a family history of the condition, being of Greek or Mediterranean descent, and having a genetic mutation in the ARID1B gene.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for Bartsocas-Papas syndrome. However, there are medications that can help manage the symptoms. These include medications to help control seizures, muscle spasms, and other neurological symptoms. Additionally, physical and occupational therapy can help improve mobility and coordination.
