Developmental delay and intellectual disability of variable degree, low muscle tone and behavioural differences, including autism, are common. Overgrowth is more common than undergrowth, with a large head the most common growth change, and facial features are typically subtle. Epilepsy occurs in about a third of people, and movement disorders and feeding difficulties can also occur.
