A rare congenital, distal arthrogryposis syndrome characterised by microstomia, whistling-face appearance, chin with V- or H- shaped crease, and prominent nasolabial folds; most patients present club foot and congenital joint contractures of the hands and feet. It is the most severe form of distal arthrogryposis. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare connective tissue disorder for which three subtypes exist, either related to the gene B4GALT7, B3GALT6 or SLC39A13, and for which the clinically overlapping characteristics include short stature (progressive in childhood), small joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility with soft, doughy skin especially on the hands and feet muscular hypotonia (ranging from congenitally severe to mild with later onset), skeletal anomalies and, more variably, osteopenia, delayed motor development and bowing of the limbs. Gene-specific features, with variable presentation, are additionally observed in each subtype. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare constitutional aplastic anaemia characterised by aplastic anaemia, intellectual disability, short stature, and microcephaly. Skin pigmentation or cafe au lait spots are often present. Majority of the patients present global developmental delay with impaired motor skills, learning disabilities, speech delay whereas some patients also may have behavioural problems including autistic features. Patients often develop premalignant myelodysplastic syndromes or leukaemia. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare constitutional aplastic anaemia characterised by progressive trilineage bone marrow failure (with hypocellularity), developmental delay with learning disabilities, and microcephaly. Mild facial dysmorphism and hypotonia have also been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare constitutional aplastic anaemia disorder characterised by severe hypo/aplastic anaemia or pancytopenia associated with skeletal anomalies (such as radial/ulnar defects and hand/digit abnormalities) and an increased risk of leukaemia. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1995. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare constitutional haemolytic anaemia that is characterised by the association of Alport syndrome, midface hypoplasia, intellectual deficit and elliptocytosis. It has been described in two families. The syndrome is transmitted as an X-linked trait is caused by a contiguous gene deletion in Xq22.3 involving several genes including COL4A5, FACL4 and AMMECR1. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare contiguous gene syndrome involving a partial deletion of chromosome 16 and characterised by early-onset and severe polycystic kidney disease with various manifestations of tuberous sclerosis (multiple angiomyolipomas, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and periventricular calcifications of the central nervous system). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare coronary artery congenital malformation with characteristics of anomalous origin of the coronary artery from the contralateral sinus of Valsalva with course between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The anomaly is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death especially during exercise. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare cortico-subcortical suprabulbar or pseudobulbar palsy of the lower cranial nerves, characterised by severe dysarthria and dysphagia associated with bilateral central facio-pharyngo-glosso-masticatory paralysis, with prominent automatic-voluntary dissociation in which involuntary movements of the affected muscles are preserved. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare cranial malformation syndrome characterised by the premature closure of both lambdoid sutures and the posterior sagittal suture, resulting in abnormal skull contour (frontal bossing, anterior turricephaly with mild brachycephaly, biparietal narrowing, occipital concavity) and dysmorphic facial features (low-set ears, midfacial hypoplasia). Short stature, developmental delay, epilepsy, and oculomotor dyspraxia have also been reported. Associated anomalies include enlargement of the cerebral ventricles, agenesis of the corpus callosum, Arnold-Chiari malformation type I, venous anomalies of skull, and hydrocephalus. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare cutaneous disease and a systemic inherited histiocytosis mainly characterised by hyperpigmentation, hypertrichosis, hepatosplenomegaly, heart anomalies, hearing loss, hypogonadism, low height, and occasionally, hyperglycaemia/diabetes mellitus. Due to overlapping clinical features, it is now considered to include pigmented hypertrichosis with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus syndrome (PHID), Faisalabad histiocytosis (FHC) and familial sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (FSHML). Some cases of dysosteosclerosis may also represent the syndrome. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare cutaneous paraneoplastic disease characterised by the presence of excessive lanugo-type hair on the glabrous skin of face, neck, trunk and limbs that can be associated with additional clinical features such as burning glossitis, papillary hypertrophy of the tongue, diarrhoea, dysgeusia, and/or weight loss. It is associated with lymphoma or cancer of the gastrointestinal system, urinary tract, lung, breast, uterus or ovary. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare defect of tropomyosin characterised by decreased fetal movements and generalised muscle stiffness at birth. Additional features include joint contractures, short stature, kyphosis, dysmorphic features, temperature dysregulation, and variably severe respiratory involvement with hypoxaemia. Muscle biopsy shows mild myopathic features. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare degenerative mitochondrial disease characterised by chronic metabolic acidosis, hypotonia, facial dysmorphism and delayed development. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare dendritic cell tumour characterised by a neoplasm composed of spindled to ovoid cells with phenotypic features similar to those of normal indeterminate cells. The tumour cells consistently express S100 protein and CD1a, while langerin, specific B- and T-cell markers, CD30, the histiocytic marker CD163, and the follicular dendritic cell markers CD21, CD23, and CD35 are negative. Birbeck granules are absent on ultrastructural examination. Patients typically present with multiple papules, nodules, or plaques of the skin. Primary lymph node or splenic involvement is less common. Systemic symptoms are usually absent. The clinical course is highly variable. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare developmental anomaly characterised by brachytelephalangy, distinct craniofacial features (prominent square forehead, telecanthus, small nose, malar hypoplasia, smooth philtrum and thin upper lip) and, relative to other family members, short stature. These features may be associated with anosmia and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (Kallman syndrome). There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1986. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare developmental anomaly characterised by midfacial hypoplasia affecting primarily the anterior part of the maxilla (premaxilla) and the nasal complex. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare developmental defect characterised by mild intellectual deficit associated with short stature, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, microcephaly and mild facial dysmorphism (deep-set eyes, prominent supraorbital ridges, a high nasal bridge and large ears). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
