- Congenital Abnormality
Clubfoot is a congenital limb deformity defined as fixation of the foot in cavus, adductus, varus, and equinus (i.e., inclined inwards, axially rotated outwards, and pointing downwards) with concomitant soft tissue abnormalities (Cardy et al., 2007). Clubfoot may occur in isolation or as part of a syndrome (e.g., diastrophic dysplasia, 222600). Clubfoot has been reported with deficiency of long bones and mirror-image polydactyly (Gurnett et al., 2008; Klopocki et al., 2012).

Bicuspid aortic valve- MedGen UID:
- 57436
- •Concept ID:
- C0149630
- •
- Congenital Abnormality
Bicuspid, or bicommissural, aortic valve (BAV) describes an aortic valve with 2 rather than 3 leaflets (Cripe et al., 2004). In 1 to 2% of the population a bicuspid aortic valve is present. Bicuspid aortic valve is frequently an antecedent to aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency. In extreme cases the blood flow may be so restricted that the left ventricle fails to grow, resulting in hypoplastic left heart syndrome (241550) (Garg et al., 2005). The valve calcification often observed in bicuspid aortic valve is a result of inappropriate activation of osteoblast-specific gene expression. Mutations in the signaling and transcription regulator NOTCH1 cause a spectrum of developmental aortic valve anomalies and severe valve calcification in nonsyndromic autosomal dominant human pedigrees.
Genetic Heterogeneity of Aortic Valve Disease
