Situs inversus or situs solitus may be associated, with extracardiac visceral transposition anomalies usually present in the former case and additional cardiac defects (e.g. septal defects, transposition of the great arteries, double-outlet right ventricle, anomalous pulmonary venous return, tetralogy of Fallot) frequently observed in both cases. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, congenital, vascular anomaly syndrome characterised by venous or, on occasion, arterial malformations which lead to soft tissue hypertrophy and bone hypoplasia. Affected limb is generally shortened, highly deformed, painful and oedematous and associates bone and muscle hypotrophy. Single parts, or multiple small parts, of limbs are typically affected but more extensive involvement, including complete extremity, shoulder girdle and axilla, has been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, fatal multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterised by facial dysmorphism (including dolichocephaly/scaphocephaly, high frontal hairline, laterally overlapping upper eyelids, hypertelorism, prominent eyelashes, deep-set eyes, macrocornea, nystagmus, dysplastic ears, abnormal auricles, prominent nasal bridge, dental dysplasia), visual impairment, deafness, seizures, generalised skeletal dysplasia, high fingerprint ridge count, cryptorchidism, hypospadias, spasticity and severe intellectual disability. An increased chromosome breakage and a fatal lymphoid malignancy have been reported. There has been no further description in the literature since 1974. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, fatal, inborn error of metabolism disorder characterised by respiratory distress and severe hypotonia at birth, severe global developmental delay, early-onset intractable seizures, myopathic facies with craniofacial dysmorphism (trigonocephaly/progressive microcephaly, low anterior hairline, arched eyebrows, hypotelorism, strabismus, small nose, prominent philtrum, thin upper lip, high-arched palate, micrognathia, malocclusion), severe, congenital flexion joint contractures and elevated serum creatine kinase levels. Scoliosis, optic atrophy, mild hepatomegaly, and hypoplastic genitalia may also be associated. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic bone disorder characterised by the presence of two non-fused talar bone fragments, with the posterior fragment located at the level of the posterior talar process. Patients may present with foot and/or ankle pain (exercise-induced or not), repetitive ankle sprains, chronic ankle ligamentous laxity, restricted ankle motion (i.e. plantar flexion, eversion, and inversion), and mild swelling. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic cardiac disease characterised by an early onset of retinal artery macroaneurysms formation and concomitant supravalvular pulmonic stenosis, often requiring surgical correction. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic coagulation disorder characterised by a mild to moderate bleeding tendency due to impaired platelet activation and aggregation in response to collagen, or impaired platelet-vessel wall interaction, resulting from a collagen receptor defect. Patients manifest with ecchymoses, epistaxis, menorrhagia, and/or post-traumatic and post-surgery bleeding complications. Laboratory analysis reveals prolonged bleeding time and, occasionally, mild thrombocytopenia. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic coenzyme Q10 deficiency characterised by sensorineural deafness and severe, progressive nephrotic syndrome not responding to steroid treatment. Clinical manifestations include early onset proteinuria, hypoalbuminaemia and oedema, leading to end-stage renal disease. The renal biopsy reveals focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial sclerosis. Rarely, seizures, ataxia and dysmorphic features have been described. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic congenital malformation syndrome characterised by bilateral anophthalmia (or less commonly microphthalmia) in association with a variable combination of the following: pulmonary hypoplasia or agenesis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia or eventration, and variable cardiovascular defects (congenital heart defects and/or pulmonary artery atresia). Intellectual disability is noted in surviving patients. Other variable malformations affecting different organ systems, as well as facial dysmorphism, may be observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis disorder characterised by craniofacial dysmorphism (including brachycephaly, prominent forehead, sparse lateral eyebrows, severe hypertelorism, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthal folds, protruding ears, broad nasal bridge, pointed nasal tip, flat philtrum, anteverted nostrils, large mouth, thin upper vermilion border, highly arched palate and mild micrognathia) associated with osteopenia leading to repeated long bone fractures, severe myopia, mild to moderate sensorineural or mixed hearing loss, enamel hypoplasia, sloping shoulders and mild intellectual disability. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis disorder characterised by sensorineural hearing impairment, childhood-onset cataract, underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics, spinal muscular atrophy, growth retardation, and cardiac and skeletal anomalies. Sudden death, as well as fatal cardiomyopathy and heart failure, have been described in some cases. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis syndrome characterised by camptodactyly, joint contractures with amyotrophy, and ectodermal anomalies (oligodontia, enamel abnormalities, longitudinally broken nails, hypohidrotic skin with tendency to excessive bruising and scarring after injuries and scratching), as well as growth retardation, kyphoscoliosis, mild facial dysmorphism, and microcephaly. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1992. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic disease characterised by pre-and postnatal growth delay, feeding difficulties, muscular hypotonia, motor developmental delay (with or without mild intellectual disability) and mild facial dysmorphism, such as broad, prominent forehead, short nose with flat nasal root and wide tip, downturned corners of mouth, high-arched palate and micrognathia. Additional features include childhood-onset central obesity, premature puberty and variable bone abnormalities (e.g. small hands and feet, dolichospondyly, slender long bones and craniofacial disproportion). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic disorder of thiamine metabolism and transport characterised by infantile spasms progressing to symptomatic generalised or partial seizures, severe global developmental delay, progressive brain atrophy, and bilateral thalamic and basal ganglia lesions. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare, genetic distal myopathy disorder characterised by middle age-onset of distal leg muscle weakness, atrophy in the anterior compartment resulting in foot drop, without proximal or scapular skeletal muscle weakness. Rapidly progressive dementia, Paget disease of bone and hand weakness have been reported. Muscle biopsy shows pronounced myopathic changes with rimmed vacuoles.
