A boy born in 2008, who lives in the city of Samarkand, was under outpatient supervision.
The child was born in a closely related marriage (children of sisters). Height at birth 50 cm, weight 3,000 g, screamed and took the breast immediately. Psychomotor development is delayed. He was constantly under the supervision of a pediatrician, received a massage.
