Description : The Verloes-David-Pfeiffer mesomelia-synostoses syndrome is an autosomal dominant
form of mesomelic dysplasia comprising typical acral synostoses combined with ptosis,
hypertelorism, palatal abnormality, congenital heart disease, and ureteral anomalies
(summary by Isidor et al., 2009). Mesomelia and synostoses are also cardinal features
of the Kantaputra type of mesomelic dysplasia (156232).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : A contiguous gene deletion syndrome caused by heterozygous deletion (582-738 kb) of
8q13 including the SULF1 (610012) and SLCO5A1 (613543) genes;
