N2  - We present the most extensive neuropsychological and language assessment yet reported of patients diagnosed with Floating-Harbor Syndrome (FHS), a rare genetic condition characterized by dysmorphid figures, short stature, and speech-onset delay. This is also the second reported occurrence of both a mother and daughter with FHS. Whereas the child demonstrated gross deficits in verbal expression, speech and language problems were largely ameliorated in the mother. Neuropsychological assessment also revealed a strikingly similar pattern of cognitive problems additional to language dysfunction, including difficulties with attention, mathematical, and visuospatial abilities. A mood disorder continued to be quite disabling for the mother.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
