Alport syndrome
monogenic disease characterized by glomerulonephritis, endstage kidney disease, and hearing loss
Proteus syndrome
human disease characterized by an overgrowth of skin, bones, muscles, fatty tissues, and blood and lymphatic vessels
androgen insensitivity syndrome
sex differentiation condition involving hormonal resistance due to androgen receptor dysfunction in a karyotypically male person
Lynch syndrome
Human disease
Alagille syndrome
congenital disorder of digestive system

ataxia telangiectasia
Ataxia–telangiectasia (AT or A–T), also referred to as ataxia–telangiectasia syndrome or Louis–Bar syndrome, is a rare, neurodegenerative disease causing severe disability. Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small dilated blood vessels, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. A–T affects many parts of the body:
It impairs certain areas of the brain including the cerebellum, causing difficulty with movement and coordination.
It weakens the immune system, causing a predisposition to infection.
It prevents the repair of broken DNA, increasing the risk of cancer.
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
syndrome characterized by overgrowth (macrosomia), an increased risk of childhood cancer and congenital malformations
Bloom syndrome
rare genetic disorder with short strature and predisposition to cancer
Li-Fraumeni syndrome
autosomal dominant disease characterized by increased risk of developing several types of cancer, including breast cancer, osteosarcomata and soft tissue sarcomata
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
Aicardi syndrome
syndrome that is characterized by absence or underdeveloped tissue connecting the left and right halves of the brain, infantile spasms and chorioretinal lacunae, which are defects in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye
Caroli disease
bile duct disease that is characterized by abnormal dilatation of the intrahepatic bile ducts
nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome
an autosomal dominant condition that can cause unusual facial appearances and a predisposition for basal-cell carcinoma
Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome
human autosomal dominant genetic disorder that can cause susceptibility to kidney cancer, renal and pulmonary cysts
Gardner's syndrome
congenital disorder of digestive system
Meigs syndrome
characterized by pleural effusion, ascites and non-malignant ovarian neoplasm
Carney complex
autosomal dominant disease characterized by myxomas, spotty pigmentation of the skin and endocrine overactivity
Nijmegen breakage syndrome
human disease
Denys-Drash syndrome
Human disease
Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome
a rare overgrowth syndrome and hamartomatous disorder with occurrence of multiple subcutaneous lipomas, macrocephaly and hemangiomas.
Maffucci syndrome
syndrome characterized by the presence of multiple enchondromas (benign growths of cartilage) associated with multiple cavernous hemangiomas and phleboliths
hereditary neoplastic syndromes
human disease
blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome
rare vascular malformation disorder with cutaneous and visceral lesions frequently associated with serious, potentially fatal bleeding and anemia
Foster-Kennedy 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
autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome
Human disease
