Facial features found in this syndrome include
- dolichocephaly
- hypertelorism
- ptosis
- microretrognathia
- high arched palate
- long flat philtrum
- low set ears
Non facial features of this syndrome include
- hyperextensibility
- hypotonia
- lateral meningoceles
The lateral meningocoles are a common finding in this syndrome. They may be associated with neurological abnormalities and result in bladder dysfunction and neuropathy.
The symptoms of Freeman–Sheldon syndrome include drooping of the upper eyelids, strabismus, low-set ears, a long philtrum, gradual hearing loss, scoliosis, and walking difficulties. Gastroesophageal reflux has been noted during infancy, but usually improves with age. The tongue may be small, and the limited movement of the soft palate may cause nasal speech. Often there is an H- or Y-shaped dimpling of the skin over the chin.
Genitopatellar syndrome is a rare condition characterized by genital abnormalities, missing or underdeveloped kneecaps (patellae), intellectual disability, and abnormalities affecting other parts of the body.
Genitopatellar syndrome is also associated with delayed development and intellectual disability, which are often severe. Affected individuals may have an unusually small head (microcephaly) and structural brain abnormalities, including underdeveloped or absent tissue connecting the left and right halves of the brain (agenesis of the corpus callosum).
The features of this syndrome affect the face, skin, brain and the body.
Face:
- downslanting palpebral fissures
- pointed chin
- prominent forehead
- proptosis
- thin upper lip
- wide nasal bridge
Skin:
- fragile
- hyperelastic
Brain:
- Low IQ
- Periventricular white matter lesions
Body:
The height, lower-segment, hand, and foot length are all greater than usual.
The disorder is characterized by:
- severe salt-independent but age-dependent hypertension
- brachydactyly malformations of the hands and fingers
- increased fibroblast growth rate
- neurovascular contact at the rostral-ventrolateral medulla
- altered baroreflex blood pressure regulation
- death from stroke before age 50 years when untreated
It is characterized by developmental defects including cryptophthalmos (where the eyelids fail to separate in each eye), and malformations in the genitals (such as micropenis, cryptorchidism or clitoromegaly). Congenital malformations of the nose, ears, larynx and renal system, as well as mental retardation, manifest occasionally. Syndactyly (fused fingers or toes) has also been noted.
Shprintzen–Goldberg syndrome is a multiple anomaly syndrome that has craniosynostosis, multiple abdominal hernias, cognitive impairment, and other skeletal malformations as key features. Several reports have linked the syndrome to a mutation in the "FBN1" gene, but these cases do not resemble those initially described in the medical literature in 1982 by Shprintzen and Goldberg, and Greally et al. in 1998 failed to find a causal link to FBN1. At this time, the cause of Shprintzen–Goldberg syndrome remains uncertain. The syndrome is rare with fewer than 50 cases described in the medical literature to date.
The lateral meningocele syndrome is a very rare skeletal disorder with facial anomalies, hypotonia and meningocele-related neurologic dysfunction.
Urban–Rogers–Meyer syndrome, also known as Prader–Willi habitus, osteopenia, and camptodactyly or Urban syndrome, is an extremely rare inherited congenital disorder first described by Urban et al. (1979). It is characterized by genital anomalies, mental retardation, obesity, contractures of fingers, and osteoporosis, though further complications are known.
Genitopatellar syndrome is a rare disorder with characteristic craniofacial features, congenital flexion contractures of the lower limbs, absent or abnormal patellae, urogenital anomalies, and severe psychomotor retardation.
In 2012, it was shown that mutations in the gene KAT6B cause the syndrome.
This syndrome consists a number of typical features. These include
- Agenesis of the corpus callosum (80-99% patients)
- Hypopigmentation of the eyes and hair (80-99% patients)
- Cardiomyopathy (80-99% patients)
- Combined immunodeficiency (80-99% patients)
- Muscular hypotonia (80-99% patients)
- Abnormality of retinal pigmentation (80-99% patients)
- Recurrent chest infections (80-99% patients)
- Abnormal EEG (80-99% patients)
- Intellectual disability (80-99% patients)
- Cataracts (75%)
- Seizures (65%)
- Renal abnormalities (15%)
Infections of the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts are common. Swallowing and feeding difficulties early on may result in a failure to thrive. Optic nerve hypoplasia, nystagmus and photophobia may occur. Facial dysmorphism (cleft lip/palate and micrognathia) and syndactyly may be present. Sensorineural hearing loss may also be present.
Death in infancy is not uncommon and is usually due to cardiac complications or severe infections.
Spondylo-ocular syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterised by lesions in the eye and the spine.
Freeman–Sheldon syndrome (FSS), also termed distal arthrogryposis type 2A (DA2A), craniocarpotarsal dysplasia (or dystrophy), Cranio-carpo-tarsal syndrome, Windmill-Vane-Hand syndrome, or Whistling-face syndrome, was originally described by Freeman and Sheldon in 1938. Freeman–Sheldon syndrome is a rare form of multiple congenital contracture (MCC) syndromes (arthrogryposes) and is the most severe form of distal arthrogryposis (DA).
Al-Raqad syndrome (ARS) is a congenital autosomal recessive syndrome discovered by Jordanian physician Mohammad Al-Raqad.
It's characterized by:
- microcephaly
- growth delay
- Psycho-motor developmental delay
- congenital hypotonia.
Al-Raqad syndrome is caused by mutation of DCPS gene.
Hypertension and brachydactyly syndrome (HTNB) also known as Bilginturan syndrome and brachydactyly type E among others is a very rare genetic disorder.
It was first reported in 1973 by N. Bilginturan et al. The estimated prevalence is less than 1 out of 1,000,000.
Kosaki overgrowth syndrome (KOGS) is a rare (27 cases reported by 2017) syndrome caused by mutations in the PDGFRB gene.
Symptoms for the disease include microcephaly, a low birth weight, dwarfism, small teeth, and diabetes. The symptoms of Stimmler syndrome are closely related to a disease studied by Haworth et al. in 1967 as well as Leigh subacute necrotizing encephalopathy with lactic acidosis
These can be divided into those affecting the eyes, spine and other areas:
The common symptoms in all reported cases of primrose syndrome include ossified pinnae, learning disabilities or mental retardation, hearing problems, movement disorders (ataxia, paralysis, and parkinsonism among others (likely due, in part, to calcification of the basal ganglia), a torus palatinus (a neoplasm on the mouth's hard palate), muscle atrophy, and distorted facial features. Other symptoms usually occur, different in each case, but it is unknown whether or not these symptoms are caused by the same disease.
Smith Martin Dodd syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder first described by Smith et al. in 1994. It is characterized by small eyes, a diaphragmatic hernia, and Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect. The only known case is of a 9-year-old boy with several congenital anomalies including a diaphragmatic hernia, microphthalmia, and Tetralogy of Fallot. It was found that the boy had a reciprocal translocation t(1;15)(q41;q21.2). A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is consistent with chromosome 1q41-q42 deletion syndrome, and the report by Smith et al. suggested that genes involved in the translocation may be important for the development of morphological characteristics, especially those of the eye or heart.
Acrocallosal syndrome (also known as ACLS) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by corpus callosum agenesis, polydactyly, multiple dysmorphic features, motor and mental retardation, and other symptoms. The syndrome was first described by Albert Schinzel in 1979.
It is associated with "GLI3".
Fraser syndrome (also known as Meyer-Schwickerath's syndrome, Fraser-François syndrome, or Ullrich-Feichtiger syndrome) is an autosomal recessive congenital disorder. Fraser syndrome is named for the geneticist George R. Fraser, who first described the syndrome in 1962.
Stimmler syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive congenital disorder first described by Stimmler et al. in 1970. It is characterized by dwarfism, diabetes, a small head, and high levels of alanine in the urine.
Primrose syndrome is a rare, slowly progressive genetic disorder that can vary symptomatically between individual cases, but is generally characterised by ossification of the external ears, learning difficulties, and facial abnormalities. It was first described in 1982 in Scotland's Royal National Larbert Institution by Dr D.A.A. Primrose.
Primrose syndrome appears to occur spontaneously, regardless of family history. The cause is currently unknown and there are no known treatments.
Malpuech facial clefting syndrome, also called Malpuech syndrome or Gypsy type facial clefting syndrome, is a rare congenital syndrome. It is characterized by facial clefting (any type of cleft in the bones and tissues of the face, including a cleft lip and palate), a appendage (a "human tail"), growth deficiency, intellectual and developmental disability, and abnormalities of the renal system (kidneys) and the male genitalia. Abnormalities of the heart, and other skeletal malformations may also be present. The syndrome was initially described by Guilliaume Malpuech and associates in 1983. It is thought to be genetically related to Juberg-Hayward syndrome. Malpuech syndrome has also been considered as part of a spectrum of congenital genetic disorders associated with similar facial, urogenital and skeletal anomalies. Termed "3MC syndrome", this proposed spectrum includes Malpuech, Michels and Mingarelli-Carnevale (OSA) syndromes. Mutations in the "COLLEC11" and "MASP1" genes are believed to be a cause of these syndromes. The incidence of Malpuech syndrome is unknown. The pattern of inheritance is autosomal recessive, which means a defective (mutated) gene associated with the syndrome is located on an autosome, and the syndrome occurs when two copies of this defective gene are inherited.
