Core Tip

Core Tip: This case presents an overview of the clinical and mutational patterns observed in a pediatric patient diagnosed with Sotos syndrome and comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Clinical features included accelerated growth, advanced skeletal maturation, and a normal intelligence quotient. Clinicians must remain aware of the potential for an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis in Sotos syndrome patients to avoid missed diagnoses and to ensure the prompt provision of appropriate interventions, thereby improving patient quality of life and prognostic outcomes.
