Syndromes with craniofacial abnormalities

page 1
Down syndrome
chromosomal condition
Cushing's syndrome
adrenal gland overactivity caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland or by medication
Williams-Beuren syndrome
neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a deletion of around 27 genes in chromosome 7, characterized by a broad forehead, underdeveloped chin, short nose, full cheeks, challenges with visual tasks, increased empathy and decreased aggression
fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
group of conditions that can occur in a person whose mother drank alcohol during pregnancy
cri-du-chat syndrome
human medical condition
DiGeorge syndrome
T cell deficiency disease that is the result of a large deletion of chromosome 22, which includes the DGS gene needed for development of the thymus and related glands with subsequent lack of T-cell production
fragile X syndrome
congenital disorder of nervous system
Cornelia de Lange syndrome
genetic disease
Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome
rare disease
Zellweger syndrome
congenital disorder of nervous system
Aarskog syndrome
monogenic disease affects a person's height, muscles, skeleton, genitals, and appearance of the face
Sotos syndrome
autosomal recessive disease that occurs rarely and is characterized by excessive physical growth during the first 2 to 3 years of life
Kabuki syndrome
rare disease
Goldenhar syndrome
syndrome that is characterized by incomplete development of the ear, nose, soft palate, lip, and mandible. It is associated with anomalous development of the first branchial arch and second branchial arch
Jacobsen syndrome
multiple congenital anomaly caused by deletion on chromosome 11, often featuring intellectual disabilities, dysmorphic features, delayed development and heart defects.
Pierre Robin syndrome
a congenital condition with micrognathia and glossoptosis
Joubert syndrome
genetic disorder affecting the cerebellum
Pitt-Hopkins syndrome
rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, distinctive facial features, and possible intermittent hyperventilation followed by apnea
chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome
Human disease
22q13 deletion syndrome
human disease
Hurler syndrome
genetic disorder that results in the buildup of glycosaminoglycans (AKA GAGs, or mucopolysaccharides) due to a deficiency of alpha-L iduronidase
Weaver syndrome
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
Dubowitz syndrome
genetic disorder
Kleefstra syndrome
Human disease
Coffin-Lowry syndrome
genetic disorder that is X-linked dominant
cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome
Human disease
Carpenter syndrome
acrocephalosyndactylia characterized by craniosynostosis, acrocephaly, obesity, syndactyly and polydactyly
Alpha-thalassemia mental retardation syndrome
alpha thalassemia that has material basis in mutation in the ATRX gene on Xq21
Donohue syndrome
Human disease
Neu-Laxova syndrome
medical condition
Saethre-Chotzen syndrome
acrocephalosyndactylia that has material basis in a genetic mutation in the TWIST1 gene which results in premature fusion located in skull
Mowat-Wilson syndrome
rare genetic disorder
Cohen syndrome
a rare genetic developmental disorder characterized by microcephaly, characteristic facial features, hypotonia, non-progressive intellectual deficit, myopia and retinal dystrophy, neutropenia and truncal obesity
Lujan–Fryns syndrome
rare genetic condition in humans
Antley-Bixler syndrome
autosomal recessive disease that is characterized at birth or prenatally by malformations and deformities affecting the majority of the skeleton and other areas of the body with autosomal recessive inheritance of the FGFR2 gene
3-M syndrome
autosomal recessive disease characterized by dwarfism, facial dysmorphia and skeletal abnormalities
Robinow syndrome
syndrome characterized by mild to moderate short stature due to growth delays after birth, distinctive craniofacial abnormalities, skeletal malformations and genital abnormalities
Ritscher–Schinzel syndrome
developmental malformation syndrome characterized by craniofacial abnormalities, congenital heart defects, and cerebellar brain malformations.
Jackson–Weiss syndrome
disease
Freeman–Sheldon syndrome
rare congenital disorder
Donnai-Barrow syndrome
human disease
tricho-hepato-enteric syndrome
human disease
acrocallosal syndrome
syndrome that is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by corpus callosum agenesis, polydactyly, multiple dysmorphic features, motor and mental retardation
Myhre syndrome
medical condition
chromosome 1q21.1 duplication syndrome
Human disease
Perlman syndrome
syndrome characterized by polyhydramnios with neonatal macrosomia, nephromegaly, distinctive facial appearance, renal dysplasia, nephroblastomatosis, and predisposition to Wilms tumor. It shows similarities to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
Leontiasis ossea
medical condition
Keutel syndrome
Keutel syndrome is characterised by diffuse cartilage calcification, brachytelephalangism, peripheral pulmonary artery stenoses and facial dysmorphism
Melnick–Needles syndrome
congenital disorder that affects primarily bone development.
Ackerman syndrome
medical condition
Nance-Horan syndrome
disorder of lens
Toriello-Carey syndrome
Toriello Carey syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by craniofacial dysmorphic features, cerebral anomalies, swallowing difficulties, cardiac defects and hypotonia
acrodysostosis
Acrodysostosis is a rare congenital malformation syndrome which involves shortening of the interphalangeal joints of the hands and feet, intellectual disability in approximately 90% of affected children, and peculiar facies. Other common abnormalities include short head (as measured front to back), small broad upturned nose with flat nasal bridge, protruding jaw, increased bone age, intrauterine growth retardation, juvenile arthritis and short stature. Further abnormalities of the skin, genitals, teeth, and skeleton may occur.
3MC syndrome 3
3MC congenital syndrome associated with the COLEC10 gene on chromosome 8q24
