Failure to thrive (FTT), also known as weight faltering or faltering growth, indicates insufficient weight gain or absence of appropriate physical growth in children. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] FTT is usually defined in terms of weight, and can be evaluated either by a low weight for the child's age, or by a low rate of increase in the weight.
DSM-IV emphasizes a failure to initiate or respond to social interactions across a range of relationships and ICD-10 similarly focuses on contradictory or ambivalent social responses that extend across social situations. [89] The relationship between patterns of attachment in the Strange Situation and RAD is not yet clear. [96]
Bainbridge–Ropers syndrome was first identified in 2013 and is characterized by failure to thrive, feeding problems, hypotonia, intellectual disabilities, autism, postnatal growth delay, abnormal facial features such as arched eyebrows, anteverted nares, and delays in language acquisition. BRPS is extremely rare worldwide; more than thirty ...
Pearson syndrome is a mitochondrial disease characterized by sideroblastic anemia and exocrine pancreas dysfunction. Other clinical features are failure to thrive, pancreatic fibrosis with insulin-dependent diabetes and exocrine pancreatic deficiency, muscle and neurologic impairment, and, frequently, early death.
PMM2 deficiency or PMM2-CDG, previously CDG-Ia, is a very rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in PMM2.It is an autosomal recessive disease that is the most common type of congenital disorder of glycosylation or CDG. [2]
The syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal cause of failure to thrive in children. Failure to thrive presents on average at seven months of age. [1] Of note the syndrome is not associated with developmental delay. [2] There may be associated hydrocephalus. [citation needed] Diencephalic syndrome was first described by Dr. A. Russell in 1951.

The earliest observable symptoms of Williams syndrome include low birth weight, failure to thrive, breastfeeding difficulties, nocturnal irritability, and gastroesophageal reflux. Facial dysmorphies thought to be characteristic of the syndrome are also present early in development, as are heart murmurs.
In MDDS associated with mutations in RRM2B that primarily affect the brain and muscle, there is again hypotonia in the first months, symptoms of lactic acidosis like nausea, vomiting, and rapid deep breathing, failure to thrive including the head remaining small, delay or regression in moving, and hearing loss. Many body systems are affected.
