Signs and symptoms of this progressive disorder include a distinctive appearance:  Slowed growth, with below-average height and weight Narrowed face, small lower jaw, thin lips and beaked nose Head disproportionately large for the face Prominent eyes and incomplete closure of the eyelids Hair loss, including eyelashes and eyebrows Thinning, spotty, wrinkled skin Visible veins High-pitched voice  Signs and symptoms also include health issues:  Severe progressive heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease Hardening and tightening of skin on the trunk and extremities (similar to scleroderma) Delayed and abnormal tooth formation Some hearing loss Loss of fat under the skin and loss of muscle mass Skeletal abnormalities and fragile bones Stiff joints Hip dislocation Insulin resistance
