Fibromatosis arising from the soft tissues of the penis. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts, and an infiltrative growth pattern. It causes the penis to bend when it becomes erect.

Testicular torsion is when the spermatic cord to a testicle twists, cutting off the blood supply. The most common symptom is acute testicular pain.

A rare non-malformative gynecological disease affecting pre-menopausal women usually following treatment with ovarian stimulating hormones, characterized by ovarian enlargement and, to varying degrees, shift of serum from the intravascular space to the third space, mainly into the peritoneal, pleural, and to a lesser extent to the pericardial cavities. Presenting symptoms include abdomen distention, pain, nausea, and vomiting. Severity ranges from mild to life-threatening and is complicated by increased risk of thrombosis, acute hepato-renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and ovarian torsion and rupture.

An abnormality of the intestinal rotation and fixation that normally occurs during the development of the gut. This can lead to volvulus, or twisting of the intestine that causes obstruction and necrosis.

Hyperlysinemia type I is an autosomal recessive metabolic condition with variable clinical features. Some patients who present in infancy with nonspecific seizures, hypotonia, or mildly delayed psychomotor development have been found to have increased serum lysine and pipecolic acid on laboratory analysis. However, about 50% of probands are reported to be asymptomatic, and hyperlysinemia is generally considered to be a benign metabolic variant (summary by Tondo et al., 2013; Houten et al., 2013). The AASS gene encodes a bifunctional enzyme: lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase. In hyperlysinemia type I, both enzymatic functions of AASS are defective; in hyperlysinemia type II, also known as saccharopinuria (268700), some of the first enzymatic function is retained (Cox, 1985; Cox et al., 1986).

Recombinant chromosome 8 syndrome (Rec8 syndrome) is a chromosomal disorder found among individuals of Hispanic descent with ancestry from the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico. Affected individuals typically have impaired intellectual development, congenital heart defects, seizures, a characteristic facial appearance with hypertelorism, thin upper lip, anteverted nares, wide face, and abnormal hair whorl, and other manifestations (Sujansky et al., 1993, summary by Graw et al., 2000).

A very rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome with characteristics of anophthalmia or severe microphthalmia, cleft lip/palate, facial cleft and sacral neural tube defects, along with various additional anomalies including congenital glaucoma, iris coloboma, primary hyperplastic vitreous, hypertelorism, low-set ears, clinodactyly, choanal atresia/stenosis, dysgenesis of sacrum, tethering of spinal cord, syringomyelia, hypoplasia of corpus callosum, cerebral ventriculomegaly and endocrine abnormalities. An autosomal recessive inheritance has been suggested.

A very rare syndrome characterized by the association of multinodular goiter, cystic renal disease and digital anomalies. It has been described in two siblings and one unrelated child. The two siblings had digitalized thumbs and preaxial polydactyly, the third child had normal thumbs and postaxial polydactyly. Goiter and/or digitalized thumbs and/or polydactyly were present in other members of families. This syndrome seems to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expression and incomplete penetrance.

An extremely rare genetic endocrine disease with characteristics of primary adrenal insufficiency, dystrophic myopathy, hepatic steatosis, severe psychomotor delay, megalocornea, failure to thrive, chronic constipation, and terminal bladder ectasia which can lead to death. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1982.

Nathalie syndrome has characteristics of deafness, cataract, muscular atrophy, skeletal abnormalities, growth retardation, underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics and electrocardiographic abnormalities. It has been described in a Dutch family: in three sisters (one named Nathalie) and their brother.

A very rare disorder with phocomelia of upper limbs, encephalocele, variable brain anomalies, urogenital abnormalities and thrombocytopenia. Less than 15 cases have been reported. The spectrum of upper limb defects varies from radial agenesis and phocomelia to amelia. A meningoencephalocele is constant. The intellectual development may be normal. Pathogenesis and cause of this syndrome are unknown. Parental consanguinity reported in a family suggests an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.

An extremely rare congenital limb malformation syndrome, described in only 3 patients to date with the association of hypoplasia or aplasia of the hand and foot phalanges, hemivertebrae and various urogenital and/or intestinal abnormalities (i.e. dysgenesis of the urogenital tract and rectum). There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1991.

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly of abnormal fusion between the spleen and the gonad or the remnants of the mesonephros. In 'continuous SGF,' there is a cord-like connection between the 2 organs, whereas in 'discontinuous SGF,' there is fusion of accessory splenic tissue and the gonad without a distinct structural connection to the spleen itself. Forty-eight percent of individuals with continuous SGF have additional malformations, compared to 9% of those with discontinuous SGF (McPherson et al., 2003).

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a congenital malformation syndrome characterized by pre- and postnatal growth deficiency, developmental disability of variable degree, characteristic craniofacial features ('Greek warrior helmet' appearance of the nose, high forehead, prominent glabella, hypertelorism, high-arched eyebrows, protruding eyes, epicanthal folds, short philtrum, distinct mouth with downturned corners, and micrognathia), and a seizure disorder (Battaglia et al., 2008).

Spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing.
