- Bowen-conradi syndrome
Bowen Hutterite syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is apparent at birth (congenital). The disorder is characterized by growth delays before birth (intrauterine growth retardation); failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive) during infancy; malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area, resulting in a distinctive appearance; and other physical abnormalities. These may include restricted joint movem Read More
- Dup(5p) syndrome
Trisomy 5p is a rare chromosomal disorder in which all or a portion of the short arm (p) of chromosome 5 (5p) appears three times (trisomy) rather than twice in cells of the body. Often the duplicated portion of 5p (trisomy) is due to a complex rearrangement involving other chromosomes. These individuals have a variable phenotype depending on which chromosome is involved, the size of the duplication and whether there is loss of material from t Read More
- Duplication 9p syndrome
Chromosome 9, Trisomy 9p is a rare chromosomal syndrome in which a portion of the 9th chromosome appears three times (trisomy) rather than twice in cells of the body. The trisomy may involve a portion of the short arm (9p), the entire short arm, or the short arm and a portion of the long arm (9q) of chromosome 9. (Each chromosome contains a short arm known as "p" and a long arm designated as "q.") Evidence suggests that, in many cases, associa Read More
- Neonatal progeroid syndrome
Neonatal Progeroid syndrome, otherwise termed as Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch, is a rare genetic condition denoted by an aged appearance at the time of birth. Symptoms involve the growth restriction specific to the uterus, feeding ordeals, varying craniofacial features, hypotonia (low muscle tone), developmental impediments and mild to extreme intellectual disabilities. Risk factors of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome Read More
- Roberts sc-phocomelia syndrome
Roberts Sc-phocomelia Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition where the onset of prenatal growth is carried over into the postnatal period. It is identified with extreme malformations, craniofacial abnormalities, and impaired cognitive development, including cardiac and renal anomalies. A cause of this can be disruptions and changes of the gene situated on the shorter arm (p) of chromosome 8. Cure/medicati Read More
- Rubinstein taybi syndrome
Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by shortened stature, mild to severe intellectual disabilities, peculiar facial features, broader thumbs and first toes, abnormalities of the eyes, kidney and heart complications, dental issues, and obesity. The life expectancy of affected children does not exceed 5 years of age. Mutations of certain genes in the DNA are the primary cause, making it a ge Read More
- Russell-silver dwarfism
Russel-silver dwarfism, also known as Russel-silver syndrome, is a developmental disease. As the name suggests, a person born with the disease grows dwarf, with an average height in adulthood being 3 feet. The baby is born with macrocephaly and an underdeveloped body by size. Other clinical features include unusually prominent forehead (frontal bossing), progressive limb length discrepancy, growth failure, and feeding difficul Read More
- Tcof1
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive abnormalities of the head and face area resulting from underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of certain facial structures including the jaw, cheekbones and nearby structures (zygomatic complex). Craniofacial abnormalities tend to involve the cheekbones, jaws, mouth, ears, and/or eyes. In addition to the various facial abnormalities, affected individuals may have ma Read More
