Gardner's syndrome
congenital disorder of digestive system
multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1
autosomal dominant disease that has material basis in a mutation in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene and is characterized by over active endocrine glands frequently involving tumors of the parathyroid glands, the pituitary gland, and the pancreas
transthyretin amyloidosis
HEREDITARY AMYLOIDOSIS
Weaver syndrome
human disease
vitelliform macular dystrophy
macular degeneration that can cause progressive vision loss, it is characterized by the disruption of cells in a small area near the center of the retina, the macula
acute intermittent porphyria
human disease
Costello syndrome
syndrome characterized by craniofacial dysmorphology, cardiac defects, mild intellectual disability, and high birth weight followed by a failure to thrive and developmental delays

Hajdu-Cheney syndrome
rare disease
Timothy syndrome
autosomal dominant disease that is characterized by cardiac, hand/foot, facial, and neurodevelopmental features; the two forms are type 1 (classic) and type 2, a rare form that has material basis in mutations in a transcript variant of CACNA1C

autosomal dominant disease characterized by medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, pheochromocytoma, hyperparathyroidism, and occasionally cutaneous lichen amyloidosis

hypochondroplasia
Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a developmental disorder caused by an autosomal dominant genetic defect in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene (FGFR3) that results in a disproportionately short stature, micromelia and a head that appears large in comparison with the underdeveloped portions of the body. It is classified as short-limbed dwarfism.
piebaldism
Piebaldism refers to the absence of mature melanin-forming cells (melanocytes) in certain areas of the skin and hair. It is a rare autosomal dominant disorder of melanocyte development. Common characteristics include a congenital white forelock, scattered normal pigmented and hypopigmented macules and a triangular shaped depigmented patch on the forehead. There is nevertheless great variation in the degree and pattern of presentation, even within affected families. In some cases, piebaldism occurs together with severe developmental problems, as in Waardenburg syndrome and Hirschsprung's diseas
branchiootorenal syndrome
autosomal dominant genetic disorder involving the kidneys, ears, and neck
ablepharon macrostomia syndrome
Human disease

pseudoachondroplasia
Pseudoachondroplasia is an inherited disorder of bone growth. It is a genetic autosomal dominant disorder which is linked to mutations in the COMP gen located on chromosome 19. It is generally not discovered until 2–3 years of age, since growth is normal at first. Pseudoachondroplasia is usually first detected by a drop of linear growth in contrast to peers, a waddling gait or arising lower limb deformities.

monilethrix
Monilethrix (also referred to as beaded hair) is a rare autosomal dominant hair disease that results in short, fragile, broken hair that appears beaded. It comes from the Latin word for necklace (monile) and the Greek word for hair (thrix). Hair becomes brittle, and breaks off at the thinner parts between the beads. It appears as a thinning or baldness of hair and was first described in 1897 by Walter Smith
