Definition

A rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome with a highly variable phenotype. The syndrome has characteristics of pre and/or postnatal growth retardation, variable intellectual disability, short stature, dysmorphic features (microcephaly, triangular facies, frontal bossing, hypertelorism, ear anomaly, broad nasal bridge, highly arched palate, micrognathism), hand and feet anomalies (e.g. brachydactyly, clinodactyly, syndactyly), and multiple hyperpigmented and/or hypopigmented spots. Severe phenotypes present with cardiac abnormalities and/or renal malformations. Other reported features include hypotonia, speech delay, talipes equinovarus, and genital anomalies (cryptorchidism and hypospadias). [from SNOMEDCT_US]
