Noonan syndrome
congenital, genetically widespread disease considered to be a type of dwarfism affecting boys and girls equally
chronic granulomatous disease
diverse group of hereditary diseases in which certain cells of the immune system have difficulty forming the reactive oxygen compounds used to kill certain ingested pathogens
LEOPARD syndrome
rare autosomal dominant,[3] multisystem disease caused by a mutation in the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 11 gene (PTPN11)
Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome
genetic disorder that affects the skin, hair, teeth, nails, and central nervous system
hypophosphatasia
Hypophosphatasia (; also called deficiency of alkaline phosphatase, phosphoethanolaminuria, or '''Rathbun's syndrome; sometimes abbreviated HPP''') is a rare, and sometimes fatal, inherited metabolic bone disease. Clinical symptoms are heterogeneous, ranging from the rapidly fatal, perinatal variant, with profound skeletal hypomineralization, respiratory compromise or vitamin B6 dependent seizures to a milder, progressive osteomalacia later in life. Tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) deficiency in osteoblasts and chondrocytes impairs bone mineralization, leading to rickets or os
Kostmann syndrome
group of diseases that affect myelopoiesis, causing a congenital form of neutropenia
RASopathy
The RASopathies are a group of developmental syndromes caused by germline mutations in genes belonging to the Ras/MAPK pathway. Common features include intellectual disability, congenital heart defects, skin abnormalities, and craniofacial abnormalities.
Walker–Warburg syndrome
rare form of autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy
autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type R1
Calpainopathy is the most common type of autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). It preferentially affects the muscles of the hip girdle and shoulder girdle.
neutral lipid storage disease
lipid storage disease that is characterized by accumulation of triglycerides in the cytoplasm of leukocytes, muscle, liver, fibroblasts, and other tissues
metachondromatosis
Metachondromatosis is an autosomal dominant, incompletely penetrant genetic disease affecting the growth of bones, leading to exostoses primarily in the hands and feet as well as enchondromas of long bone metaphyses and iliac crests. This syndrome affects mainly tubular bones, though it can also involve the vertebrae, small joints, and flat bones. The disease is thought to affect exon 4 of the PTPN11 gene. Metachondromatosis is believed to be caused by an 11 base pair deletion resulting in a frameshift and nonsense mutation. The disease was discovered and named in 1971 by Pierre Maroteaux, a F
