Distal limb deficiencies-micrognathia syndrome
Disease definition
The distal limb deficiencies-micrognathia syndrome is characterized by the combination of symmetric severe distal limb reduction deficiencies affecting all four limbs (oligodactyly), microretrognathia, and microstomia with or without cleft palate.
ORPHA:1307
Classification level: DisorderSummary
Epidemiology
It has been reported in four patients; two of them were siblings and had moderate intellectual deficiency.
Clinical description
Two non-related subjects also had severe myopia, bilateral conductive hearing loss and a renal change, referred to as oligomeganephronia, or renal hypoplasia.
Etiology
Using high resolution oligoarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), a 10q24 duplication or triplication was recently detected in all these patients, similar to the duplication detected in an isolated form of split hand foot malformation (SHFM; see this term).
