" /> Faciodigitogenital syndrome, autosomal recessive - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Faciodigitogenital syndrome, autosomal recessive;

Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;

Alternative titles and symbols : Kuwait-type faciodigitogenital syndrome; Aarskog-like syndrome;

Description : The Aarskog faciodigitogenital syndrome (305400) is X-linked in most instances; however, sex-influenced autosomal dominant inheritance is possible in some (100050). Teebi et al. (1988) described an Arabic family with normal consanguineous parents and 5 children (3 males and 2 females) with some features of Aarskog syndrome in addition to unusual hair changes. The hair was coarse, dry, and relatively hypopigmented with widow's peak trait (194000). The hands were small and broad with mild interdigital webbing, fifth finger clinodactyly, and hyperextensible joints. The feet were small with metatarsus varus and stubby toes. Hypertelorism and, in the males, shawllike scrotum completed the similarities to Aarskog syndrome. In the same Kuwaiti Bedouin tribe from which the first family came, Teebi and Al Awadi (1991) observed another sibship with 2 affected males who were double first cousins to the first reported cases. Moreover, they observed 3 other distantly related sibships with 9 affected members who all could be traced to a common ancestor. The consistent features were a triangular or elongated face, telecanthus or mild hypertelorism, wide palpebral fissures without ptosis, short stubby nose with anteverted nostrils, high arched and narrow palate, long, deep philtrum, wide mouth with protruding lower lip, posteriorly rotated ears with minor ear anomalies, long neck with sloping shoulders, small, broad hands with mild interdigital webbing and fifth finger clinodactyly, hyperextensible hand joints, and shawl scrotum. Short stature was confirmed in 10 cases, while the heights of the other 6 were between the 10th and 25th percentile for age. None of the 16 cases showed physical disability or mental retardation. *FIELD* RF 1. Teebi, A. S.; Al Awadi, S. A.: Kuwait type faciodigitogenital syndrome. (Letter) J. Med. Genet. 28: 805, 1991. 2.
