Studies suggest that the resulting shortage of this enzyme impairs the regulation of various genes during early development. The mutations that cause the SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome likely prevent the production of functional histone acetyltransferase from one copy of the KAT6B gene in each cell. It appears to regulate genes that are important for early development, including development of the skeleton and nervous system. Little is known about the function of the histone acetyltransferase produced from the KAT6B gene. By adding a small molecule called an acetyl group to histones, histone acetyltransferases control the activity of certain genes. These enzymes modify histones, which are structural proteins that attach (bind) to DNA and give chromosomes their shape. This gene provides instructions for making a type of enzyme called a histone acetyltransferase. The SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome is caused by mutations in the KAT6B gene. The SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome can also be associated with heart defects and dental problems. About one-third of affected individuals are born with an opening in the roof of the mouth called a cleft palate.
Additionally, affected individuals may have distinctive facial features such as prominent cheeks, a broad nasal bridge or a nose with a rounded tip, a narrowing of the eye opening ( blepharophimosis ), droopy eyelids ( ptosis ), and abnormalities of the tear (lacrimal) glands. The SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome is characterized by a mask-like, non-expressive face. Many affected infants have weak muscle tone (hypotonia) that leads to breathing and feeding difficulties. The SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome is also associated with delayed development and intellectual disability, which are often severe. Many people with this condition have long thumbs and first (big) toes. Although joints in the lower body are stiff, joints in the arms and upper body may be unusually loose (lax). Affected individuals also have joint stiffness involving the hips, knees, and ankles that can impair movement. Missing or underdeveloped patellae is the most common skeletal abnormality associated with the SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome. Females with this condition have normal genitalia. Males with the SBBYS variant of Ohdo syndrome typically have undescended testes (cryptorchidism). The importance of paying particular attention to the management of both the physical appearance and the consequences of these entities on the quality of life is stressed by the affected individuals themselves.The Say-Barber-Biesecker-Young-Simpson (SBBYS) variant of Ohdo syndrome is a rare condition characterized by genital abnormalities in males, missing or underdeveloped kneecaps (patellae), intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, and abnormalities affecting other parts of the body. We focused on perception of illness, body satisfaction, and the consequences for an otherwise normal individual who has a disorder that interferes with body image. We tabulated frequently asked questions from affected individuals and families, and a parent of an affected child and an affected adult woman offered personal testimonies. We studied the impact that the presence of BSS and AMS has on psychosocial functioning of affected individuals and their families, using their point of view to start with. Both are characterized by abnormalities in ectoderm-derived structures and cause a very unusual morphology of mainly the face in individuals with otherwise normal cognition and normal physical functioning.
