Potocki-Shaffer Syndrome

Potocki-Shaffer syndrome is a very rare condition caused by the loss of a small piece of chromosome 11. It can involve multiple bony growths called exostoses, gaps in the skull bones known as parietal foramina, distinctive facial features, developmental delay and intellectual disability. Care is shared between specialists and may include orthopaedic surgery, early intervention and learning support.

This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.

Potocki-Shaffer Syndrome is very rare and little research has been published, so this page includes research from every year, including case reports about individual patients. Case reports are marked, and describe one person's experience rather than tested results.
