How was Jacobsen Syndrome discovered?
It as first discovered by Danish physician Petra Jacobsen. It was discovered through genetic testing of children, thought to have genetic disorders. Its also referred to as 11q terminal deletion disorder

What is jacobsen syndrome?
Jacobsen syndrome is a condition caused by a loss of genetic material from chromosome 11. Because this deletion occurs at the end (terminus) of the long (q) arm of chromosome 11, Jacobsen syndrome is also known as 11q terminal deletion disorder. The signs and symptoms of Jacobsen syndrome vary considerably. Most affected individuals have delayed development, including the development of motor skills (such as sitting, standing, and walking) and speech. Most also have cognitive impairment and learning difficulties. Behavioral problems have been reported, including compulsive behavior (such as shredding paper), a short attention span, and easy distractibility. Many people with Jacobsen syndrome have been diagnosed with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Jacobsen syndrome is also characterized by distinctive facial features. These include small and low-set ears, widely set eyes (hypertelorism) with droopy eyelids (ptosis), skin folds covering the inner corner of the eyes (epicanthal folds), a broad nasal bridge, downturned corners of the mouth, a thin upper lip, and a small lower jaw. Affected individuals often have a large head size (macrocephaly) and a skull abnormality called trigonocephaly, which gives the forehead a pointed appearance. More than 90 percent of people with Jacobsen syndrome have a bleeding disorder called Paris-Trousseau syndrome. This condition causes a lifelong risk of abnormal bleeding and easy bruising. Paris-Trousseau syndrome is a disorder of platelets, which are blood cell fragments that are necessary for blood clotting. Other features of Jacobsen syndrome can include heart defects, feeding difficulties in infancy, short stature, frequent ear and sinus infections, and skeletal abnormalities. The disorder can also affect the digestive system, kidneys, and genitalia. The life expectancy of people with Jacobsen syndrome is unknown, although affected individuals have lived into adulthood
Is jacobsen syndrome dominant?
Jacobsen symptom is neither dominant nor recessive because it is not a sex-linked disorder. This disorder is a mutation, specifically a partial deletion. Part of the long arm (q) of chromosome 11 is deleted.
Is it autism or delays caused by Jacobsen syndrome?
Firstly, it's possible it could be both at once. Jacobsen Syndrome (11q deletion) describes an underlying cause of the child's problems, while autism describes the behavioral characteristics present in the child. Autism can have many possible causes, with Jacobsen Syndrome being one of them. It's kind of like saying 'is it a fever or is it measles?' Diagnosing autism in a child with Jacobsen Syndrome poses the same challenges as diagnosing it in any child with cognitive disabilities. Both autism and cognitive disabilities will cause delays in social and language skills. However, in autism, these delays are more severe than their level of ability in other areas would predict (eg a child may be able to complete puzzles designed for 8 year olds, but have the social skills of a toddler). In addition, autism causes abnormal behavior as well as delays. Socially, many autistic kids show a lack of interest in social interaction, which is not typical of any age level. Many autistic kids avoid eye contact as well. In addition, autistic kids who are verbal may show echoing of sentences or phrases out of context, known as delayed echolalia. Furthermore, autistic kids typically show unusually repetitive behavior. This includes odd motor mannerisms such as hand-flapping or rocking, intense interests in specific areas (eg fascination with lampposts), or insistence on certain routines or rituals. These behaviors can sometimes be seen in non-autistic kids with cognitive disabilities, but is more extreme in autistic children. Since Jacobsen Syndrome is not very well-known, if the child's needs are similar to autistic children a diagnosis of autism could be useful for therapeutic purposes. If you think your child is showing autistic traits, consult a psychologist.
