Cardiocranial syndrome, Pfeiffer type

MedGen UID:
346598
Concept ID:
C1857495
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Cardiocranial syndrome; Craniostenosis, sagittal, with congenital heart disease, mental deficiency, and mandibular ankylosis; Pfeiffer Singer Zschiesche syndrome
SNOMED CT: Cardiocranial syndrome Pfeiffer type (720606005); Craniosynostosis with congenital heart disease and intellectual disability syndrome (720606005); Pfeiffer Singer Zschiesche syndrome (720606005); Sagittal craniostenosis with congenital heart disease, mental deficiency and mandibular ankylosis (720606005)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

An extremely rare disorder found in less than ten patients worldwide with characteristics of congenital heart defect, sagittal craniosynostosis and severe developmental delay. Genital and renal anomalies, and various dysmorphic features may be present. Joint and palpebral abnormalities may also occur. The occurrence of the syndrome in a brother-sister sibship supports the hypothesis of autosomal recessive inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance and submicroscopic deletions have also been proposed as possible causes. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
