Summary Summary

The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.

Orpha Number: 1318

Definition

Campomelia, Cumming type, is characterized by the association of limb defects and multivisceral anomalies.

Epidemiology

The syndrome has been reported in eight infants from four different families.

Clinical description

Skeletal features include tetramelic campomelia and short long bones. Extraskeletal manifestations may include cervical lymphocele, generalized hydrops, polycystic kidneys, pancreas and liver, fibrotic liver or pancreas, polysplenia, heterotaxia (see this term), lung hypoplastia, short bowel. All newborns reported so far were either stillborn or died shortly after birth.

Genetic counseling

In one of the affected families, three sibs with identical features born to first-cousin parents have been reported, suggestive of autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Symptoms Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
