A 4-generation family with multiple synostoses syndrome type 4 (SYNS4) is reported, the third family identified so far. The phenotype segregated with a previously undescribed Asn399Lys (c.1197C>A) substitution in GDF6. N399 is part of a hydrophobic pocket critical for binding the BMP/GDF
We report on a 17-year-old man who presented with unreported combination of right sided microtia and preauricular skin tag with conductive hearing loss, unilateral renal agenesis, partial syndactyly of forth and fifth metacarpals, multiple tarsal coalitions, absent toe, and hypoplastic tibia and
Symphalangism was introduced into Hawaii by a Cherokee Indian in the late 1800s. The resultant pedigree, along with two other racially distinct pedigrees, confirms that the condition is an autosomal dominant genetic trait. Associated conditions include carpal and tarsal coalitions, cervical fusions,
Proximal symphalangism (SYM1B) (OMIM 615298) is an autosomal dominant developmental disorder affecting joint fusion. It is characterized by variable fusions of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hands, typically of the ring and little finger, with the thumb typically being spared. SYM1 is
Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome is characterized by autosomal recessive inheritance, failure of normal spinal segmentation causing symmetrical block vertebrae or scoliosis, and lordosis. There is a disproportionately short trunk. Some patients have a unilateral unsegmented bar. Other
Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome (SCT) (OMIM 272460), originally thought to be a failure of normal spine segmentation, is characterized by progressive fusion of vertebras and associates unsegmented bars, scoliosis, short stature, carpal and tarsal synostosis. Cleft palate, sensorineural or
Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome is a recently delineated autosomal recessive condition comprising short stature with short trunk, failure of normal spine segmentation resulting in block vertebrae and fusion of posterior elements, carpal and/or tarsal coalition, scoliosis, lordosis, pes
Muenke syndrome is an autosomal dominant craniosynostosis syndrome resulting from a defining point mutation in the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor3 (FGFR3) gene. Muenke syndrome is characterized by coronal craniosynostosis (bilateral more often than unilateral), hearing loss, developmental delay,
The underlying basis of many forms of syndromic craniosynostosis has been defined on a molecular level. However, many patients with familial or sporadic craniosynostosis do not have the classical findings of those craniosynostosis syndromes. Here we present 61 individuals from 20 unrelated families
Muenke syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by coronal suture craniosynostosis, hearing loss, developmental delay, carpal and tarsal fusions, and the presence of the Pro250Arg mutation in the FGFR3 gene. Reduced penetrance and variable expressivity contribute to the wide spectrum
