Summary Summary

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

Orpha Number: 2211

Definition

Hypertelorism-hypospadias-polysyndactyly syndrome is a very rare syndrome associating an acro-fronto-facio-nasal dysostosis with genitourinary anomalies.

Epidemiology

It has been described in three families.

Clinical description

Craniofacial manifestations include wide anterior fontanel, flat occiput, hypertelorism, ptosis, proptosis, broad nasal bridge and nasal tip, long philtrum and posteriorly rotated or low set ears. Hypospadias and shawl scrotum are present in all males. Acral manifestations include syndactyly of fingers, broad thumbs or halluces or preaxial polydactyly. The affected patients have no intellectual deficit.

Genetic counseling

The condition seems to be hereditary, and transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

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.
