Preferred Label : Kenny-caffey syndrome, type 2;
Symbol : KCS2;
CISMeF acronym : KCS2;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Dwarfism, cortical thickening of tubular bones, and transient hypocalcemia; Kenny syndrome;
Description : The major features of Kenny-Caffey syndrome are proportionate short stature, cortical
thickening and medullary stenosis of the tubular bones, delayed closure of anterior
fontanel, eye abnormalities, and transient hypocalcemia. Intelligence is normal (Kenny
and Linarelli, 1966; Caffey, 1967). Inheritance in most cases is autosomal dominant
(Franceschini et al., 1992). See KCS1 (244460) for a discussion of an autosomal recessive
form of Kenny-Caffey syndrome.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the family with sequence similarity 111, member A gene (FAM111A,
615292.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypocalcemia, transient; Hyperphosphatemia, transient;
Prefixed ID : #127000;
Origin ID : 127000;
