It all started in the womb.

Little Timothy was not even born yet and had gotten Jacobsen Syndrome.

Wow! This is very rare.

This is a quick summary of Jacobsen syndrome so you know more about the story. Jacobsen syndrome is a chromosomal mutation that happens in the 11th pair where part of the chormosome is deleted. The syndrome is non-hertiable caused by mutation and is autosomal.

Couple weeks later...

Timothy Jervis is now born into the world. He will develop a lot more slowly than normal people.

This is a karyotype. It shows people if there are any mutations in their chromosomes. In this chart there is a small deletion in pair 11 which is why Jacobsen syndrome is also called 11q disorder.
