Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Auriculocondylar syndrome (ARCND), also known as 'question-mark ear syndrome' or 'dysgnathia
complex,' is an autosomal dominant craniofacial malformation syndrome characterized
by highly variable mandibular anomalies, including mild to severe micrognathia, often
with temporomandibular joint ankylosis, cleft palate, and a distinctive ear malformation
that consists of separation of the lobule from the external ear, giving the appearance
of a question mark. Other frequently described features include prominent cheeks,
cupped and posteriorly rotated ears, preauricular tags, and microstomia (summary by
Rieder et al., 2012). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of auriculocondylar
syndrome, see ARCND1 (602483).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant; Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the phospholipase C, beta-4 gene (PLCB4, 600810.0001);
