Signs and symptoms

edit

Individuals with this condition usually have the following symptoms:[1]

Some individuals may also display the following features:

Causes

edit

This condition is caused by mosaic missense mutations in the SMO gene on chromosome 7. The causative mutation is typically present in less than 50% of an individual's body tissues. It is suggested that the mutation occurs post-zygotically during early embryonic development.[2]

Management

edit

Management of Curry–Jones syndrome depends on an individual's symptom profile.

Epidemiology

edit

Curry–Jones syndrome has been described in 13 people worldwide.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Discovery

edit

The first case of Curry–Jones syndrome was reported by Cynthia J.R. Curry et al. at the 1987 David W. Smith Workshop on Malformations and Morphogenesis. A similar patient was reported by M.C. Jones.[8] By 1988, it was recognized by the name of Curry–Jones syndrome.[9]
