Description : Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized
by short limbs, short ribs, postaxial polydactyly, and dysplastic nails and teeth.
Congenital cardiac defects, most commonly a defect of primary atrial septation producing
a common atrium, occur in 60% of affected individuals (summary by Ruiz-Perez et al.,
2000). The clinical features of the Ellis-van Creveld syndrome appear to be identical
regardless of whether the disorder is caused by mutation in the EVC gene (604831)
or in the EVC2 gene (607261) (Ruiz-Perez et al., 2003, Galdzicka et al., 2002).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the EVC gene (EVC, 604831.0001); Caused by mutation in the EVC2 (limbin) gene (EVC2, 607231.0001);
