Preferred Label : Lymphedema-hypoparathyroidism syndrome;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Alternative titles and symbols : Hypoparathyroidism-lymphedema syndrome;
Description : Dahlberg et al. (1983) described 2 adult brothers with congenital lymphedema, hypoparathyroidism,
nephropathy, mitral valve prolapse and brachytelephalangy. The older sib was found
to have bilateral cataracts on routine examination at age 19 years. Swelling of his
arms and legs, noted soon after his birth, increased after he began walking. Progressive
renal failure necessitated renal transplantation at age 26 years. The brother had
similar findings. Both have a broad nasal bridge and lateral displacement of the inner
canthi. Pulmonary lymphangiectasia (see 265300) was suspected on the basis of radiologic
findings. The mode of inheritance is not clear but includes autosomal recessive and
X-linked recessive inheritance. *FIELD* RF 1. Dahlberg, P. J.; Borer, W. Z.; Newcomer,
