Bilateral microphthalmia, cataracts, and pulmonary hypoplasia have also been reported. The disease is fatal in the neonatal period. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1995. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic bone development disorder characterised by parietal foramina in association with hypoplasia of the clavicles (short abnormal clavicles with tapering lateral ends, with or without loss of the acromion). Additional features may include mild craniofacial dysmorphism (macrocephaly, broad forehead and frontal bossing). No dental abnormalities were reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic bone developmental disorder characterised by generalised vertebral segmentation and fusion defects, disproportionate short stature (with predominant truncal shortness) and thoracolumbar scoliosis, associated with mild intellectual disability, hypospadias, partial cutaneous finger syndactyly and mild swan neck-like deformities of the fingers. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic bone disease characterised by multifocal, painless, benign fibrocemento-osseous lesions of the jaws which expand progressively and can cause severe facial deformity. It usually manifests at an early age and is often associated with abnormalities of the long bones and pathologic fractures. Radiologically, the lesions are of mixed radiopaque/radiolucent appearance. Incomplete surgical removal may lead to more rapid growth of the residual lesion. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic bone disease characterised by short stature, bilateral congenital hip dislocation, radial head dislocation, carpal coalition, scoliosis, pes cavus, and atlantoaxial subluxation. Dysmorphic facial features include broad forehead, broad nasal bridge, hypertelorism, and mild midface hypoplasia. Association with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss has also been described. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic bone disorder characterised by ankylosis of the proximal interphalangeal joints, carpal and tarsal bone fusion, and conductive hearing loss in some patients. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic brachydactyly syndrome characterised by the association of brachydactyly type E with hypertension (due to vascular or neurovascular anomalies) as well as the additional features of short stature and low birth weight (compared to non-affected family members), stocky build and a round face. The onset of hypertension is often in childhood. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare genetic cardiac disease characterised by variably expressed atrial tachyarrhythmia (such as atrial flutter, paroxysmal or chronic atrial fibrillation, ectopic atrial tachycardia, or multifocal atrial tachycardia), infra-Hisian conduction system disease, and vulnerability to dilated cardiomyopathy. Age of onset ranges between childhood and adulthood. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
