Overgrowth syndrome with 2q37 translocation is a rare genetic disorder caused by a chromosomal abnormality. It is characterized by excessive physical growth, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features. People with this condition typically have an abnormally large head size, a long face, and a prominent forehead. Other features may include a wide mouth, a short nose, and a pointed chin. Affected individuals may also have heart defects, skeletal abnormalities, and/or kidney problems.

The symptoms of Overgrowth Syndrome with 2q37 Translocation can vary from person to person, but some of the most common symptoms include:

-Large head size (macrocephaly)
-Developmental delay
-Intellectual disability
-Speech delay
-Behavioral problems
-Seizures
-Abnormal facial features
-Low muscle tone (hypotonia)
-Joint laxity
-Scoliosis
-Heart defects
-Kidney abnormalities
-Gastrointestinal problems
-Vision and hearing problems
-Skin abnormalities

The exact cause of Overgrowth Syndrome with 2q37 Translocation is unknown. However, it is believed to be caused by a genetic mutation in the 2q37 region of the genome. This mutation is thought to disrupt the normal regulation of cell growth and division, leading to the overgrowth of cells and tissues.

1. Genetic counseling: This is important for families affected by 2q37 translocation to understand the risks and implications of the condition.

2. Physical therapy: Physical therapy can help improve muscle strength and coordination, as well as help with mobility and balance.

3. Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can help with activities of daily living, such as dressing, eating, and bathing.

4. Speech therapy: Speech therapy can help with communication and language development.

5. Behavioral therapy: Behavioral therapy can help with social skills and managing challenging behaviors.

6. Surgery: Surgery may be necessary to correct physical deformities or to treat medical complications.

7. Medication: Medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or medical complications.

1. Having a parent with a balanced 2q37 translocation.
2. Having a balanced 2q37 translocation.
3. Having a family history of Overgrowth syndrome with 2q37 translocation.
4. Having a genetic mutation in the 2q37 region.
5. Having a history of recurrent miscarriages.
6. Having a history of consanguinity (marriage between close relatives).
7. Having a history of advanced paternal age.

At this time, there is no known cure for Overgrowth Syndrome with 2q37 translocation. However, there are medications and treatments available to help manage the symptoms. These include growth hormone therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medications to help with pain, seizures, and other symptoms. Additionally, genetic counseling and support groups can be helpful for families affected by this condition.
