Thai symphalangism syndrome

Thai symphalangism syndrome is a novel genetic disorder which is characterized by proximal and distal symphalangism of the fingers, postaxial polydactyly, hypodontia, ear dysplasia, blepharoptosis, short stature, toe distal phalange agenesis, and frenula hyperplasia.

Etymology
This disorder was discovered in 2003 by Kantaputra et al., who described a twelve-year-old Thai girl with the symptoms mentioned above. Unlike other rare genetic syndromes with only one to five reported cases, this disorder has a known genetic cause: mutations in the NOG and GDF5 genes. Mutations responsible for other symphalangism syndromes were not found in the girl. == References ==
