Preferred Label : Yunis-varon syndrome;
Symbol : YVS;
CISMeF acronym : YVS;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Cleidocranial dysplasia with micrognathia, absent thumbs, and distal aphalangia;
Description : Yunis-Varon syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by skeletal
defects, including cleidocranial dysplasia and digital anomalies, and severe neurologic
involvement with neuronal loss. Enlarged cytoplasmic vacuoles are found in neurons,
muscle, and cartilage. The disorder is usually lethal in infancy (summary by Campeau
et al., 2013).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the FIG4 phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase gene (FIG4, 609390.0009);
Laboratory abnormalities : Enlarged cytoplasmic vacuoles in bone, muscle, and brain tissue;
Prefixed ID : #216340;
