Preferred Label : Weill-marchesani syndrome 1;
Symbol : WMS1;
CISMeF acronym : WMS1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Spherophakia-brachymorphia syndrome; Mesodermal dysmorphodystrophy, congenital; Weill-marchesani syndrome, autosomal recessive;
Description : Weill-Marchesani syndrome is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by short
stature, brachydactyly, joint stiffness, and lens abnormalities (Faivre et al., 2002).
- Genetic Heterogeneity of Weill-Marchesani Syndrome A phenotypically similar, autosomal
dominant form of WMS (WMS2; 608328) is caused by mutation in the FBN1 gene on chromosome
15q21. Autosomal recessive WMS3 (614819) is caused by mutation in the LTBP2 gene (602091)
on chromosome 14q24. A WMS-like syndrome (613195), in which affected individuals exhibit
key features of WMS but do not display brachydactyly or decreased joint flexibility,
is caused by mutation in the ADAMTS17 gene (607511) on chromosome 15q24.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ADAM metallopeptidase domain with thrombospondin type 1
motif, 10 gene (ADAMTS10, 608990.0001);
