An infant girl presents with cyanosis 4 hours after birth. A physician diagnoses her with a condition that develops due to a failure of neural crest cell migration that results in a nonspiraling aorticopulmonary septum. A careful interview of the mother reveals that she has a disease that predisposed her child to this congenital condition. Which of the following collections of symptoms is this infant’s mother most likely experiencing?
(A) Arachnodactyly, hyperextensible joints, and aortic aneurysm
(B) Cold intolerance, delayed reflexes, constipation
(C) Megaloblastic anemia without neurologic symptoms
(D) Mild fever with a descending maculopapular rash and clear buccal mucosa
(E) Polydipsia, polyuria, and blurred vision
