Preferred Label : Oculodentodigital dysplasia;
Symbol : ODDD;
CISMeF acronym : ODDD; ODOD;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : ODOD; Oculodentoosseous dysplasia; Odd syndrome;
Description : Oculodentodigital syndrome is characterized by a typical facial appearance and variable
involvement of the eyes, dentition, and fingers. Characteristic facial features include
a narrow, pinched nose with hypoplastic alae nasi, prominent columella and thin anteverted
nares together with a narrow nasal bridge, and prominent epicanthic folds giving the
impression of hypertelorism. The teeth are usually small and carious. Typical eye
findings include microphthalmia and microcornea. The characteristic digital malformation
is complete syndactyly of the fourth and fifth fingers (syndactyly type III) but the
third finger may be involved and associated camptodactyly is a common finding (summary
by Judisch et al., 1979). Neurologic abnormalities are sometimes associated (Gutmann
et al., 1991), and lymphedema has been reported in some patients with ODDD (Brice
et al., 2013). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Oculodentodigital Syndrome An autosomal
recessive form of ODDD (257850) is also caused by mutation in the GJA1 gene, but the
majority of cases are autosomal dominant.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the connexin 43 gene (GJA1, 121014.0003);
