Craniosynostosis-fibular aplasia syndrome

MedGen UID:
347468
•Concept ID:
C1857492
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Craniosynostosis with fibular aplasia
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0009038
OMIM®: 218550

Definition

Craniosynostosis-fibular aplasia is an extremely rare genetic disease, reported in only 2 brothers to date, characterized by the combination of craniosynostosis (involving both coronal sutures), congenital absence of the fibula, cryptorchidism, and bilateral simian creases. Intelligence is normal and an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance has been proposed. There have been no further reports in the literature since 1972. [from MONDO]

Cryptorchidism
MedGen UID:
8192
•Concept ID:
C0010417
•
Congenital Abnormality
Cryptorchidism, or failure of testicular descent, is a common human congenital abnormality with a multifactorial etiology that likely reflects the involvement of endocrine, environmental, and hereditary factors. Cryptorchidism can result in infertility and increases risk for testicular tumors. Testicular descent from abdomen to scrotum occurs in 2 distinct phases: the transabdominal phase and the inguinoscrotal phase (summary by Gorlov et al., 2002).

Craniosynostosis syndrome
MedGen UID:
1163
•Concept ID:
C0010278
•
Disease or Syndrome
Craniosynostosis refers to the premature closure of the cranial sutures. Primary craniosynostosis refers to the closure of one or more sutures due to abnormalities in skull development, and secondary craniosynostosis results from failure of brain growth.
