Genetic Mutation Causes Self-Harm In Children

A child in Yunnan province has been diagnosed with a self-destructive facial disfigurement syndrome following a genetic mutation. New details indicate the diagnosis follows a genetic mutation discovery after the infant failed to reach crawling and rolling milestones at six months. The condition was linked to a genetic mutation after the infant showed an inability to crawl or roll at six months and began biting themselves. The condition involves a genetic mutation causing loss of motor skills like crawling and rolling, alongside self-harming behaviors. A genetic mutation identified as Self-Destruction Syndrome causes children to exhibit uncontrolled self-harming behaviors, including biting and self-mutilation. New reports from Zhihu detail specific symptoms including an inability to crawl or roll over at six months, followed by uncontrolled biting and self-mutilation, diagnosed as Self-Destructive Appearance Syndrome.
