Pierpont syndrome

An autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by multiple congenital anomalies, global developmental delay, learning disability, palmar and plantar fat pads, and distinctive facial characteristics, especially when smiling.

Growth hormone insensitivity syndrome with immune dysregulation 1, autosomal recessive

An autosomal recessive form of growth hormone insensitivity syndrome, a congenital disease characterized by short stature, growth hormone deficiency in the presence of normal to elevated circulating concentrations of growth hormone, resistance to exogeneous growth hormone therapy, and recurrent infections. Most, but not all, patients have features of immune dysregulation.

Microphthalmia, syndromic, 2

A very rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by eye anomalies (congenital cataract, microphthalmia, or secondary glaucoma), facial abnormalities (long narrow face, high nasal bridge, pointed nose with cartilages separated at the tip, cleft palate, or submucous cleft palate), cardiac anomalies (atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or floppy mitral valve) and dental abnormalities (canine radiculomegaly, delayed dentition, oligodontia, persistent primary teeth, or variable root length). Microphthalmia is a disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities.

Spinocerebellar ataxia 35

A form of spinocerebellar ataxia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA35 patients commonly show upper limb involvement and torticollis. There is no cognitive impairment.

Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome

A syndrome characterized by hairy elbows (hypertrichosis cubiti), intellectual disability, a distinctive facial appearance, and short stature. Facial characteristics include long eyelashes, thick or arched eyebrows with a lateral flare, and downslanting and vertically narrow palpebral fissures.

Skeletal defects, genital hypoplasia, and impaired intellectual development

A disorder characterized by intellectual disability, craniofacial dysmorphism, microcephaly and short stature. Additional features include absence of the thumbs, hypoplasia of the radii and ulnae, additional vertebrae and ribs, retarded bone age and genital hypoplasia.

Hyper-IgE syndrome 1, autosomal dominant, with recurrent infections

A rare disorder of immunity and connective tissue characterized by immunodeficiency, chronic eosinophilia, distinctive coarse facial appearance, abnormal dentition, hyperextensibility of the joints, and bone fractures.

Bone marrow failure syndrome 2

An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by trilineage bone marrow failure, bone marrow hypocellularity, learning difficulties, and microcephaly. Insufficient hematopoiesis results in peripheral blood cytopenias, affecting myeloid, erythroid and megakaryocyte lines. Cutaneous features and increased chromosome breakage are not features.

Carney complex 1

CNC is a multiple neoplasia syndrome characterized by spotty skin pigmentation, cardiac and other myxomas, endocrine tumors, and psammomatous melanotic schwannomas.

Leukemia, chronic myeloid

A clonal myeloproliferative disorder of a pluripotent stem cell with a specific cytogenetic abnormality, the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), involving myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, B-lymphoid, and sometimes T-lymphoid cells, but not marrow fibroblasts.

Noonan syndrome-like disorder with or without juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia

A syndrome characterized by a phenotype reminiscent of Noonan syndrome. Clinical features are highly variable, including facial dysmorphism, short neck, developmental delay, hyperextensible joints and thorax abnormalities with widely spaced nipples. The facial features consist of triangular face with hypertelorism, large low-set ears, ptosis, and flat nasal bridge. Some patients manifest cardiac defects. Some have an increased risk for certain malignancies, particularly juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.

Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome

An overgrowth syndrome characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, tall stature and intellectual disability. Facial gestalt is characterized by a round face, heavy horizontal eyebrows and narrow palpebral fissures. Less common features include atrial septal defects, seizures, umbilical hernia, and scoliosis.

Neurofibromatosis 1

A disease characterized by patches of skin pigmentation (cafe-au-lait spots), Lisch nodules of the iris, tumors in the peripheral nervous system and fibromatous skin tumors. Individuals with the disorder have increased susceptibility to the development of benign and malignant tumors.

Piebald trait

Autosomal dominant genetic developmental abnormality of pigmentation characterized by congenital patches of white skin and hair that lack melanocytes.

Leukemia, chronic myeloid

A clonal myeloproliferative disorder of a pluripotent stem cell with a specific cytogenetic abnormality, the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), involving myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, B-lymphoid, and sometimes T-lymphoid cells, but not marrow fibroblasts.

Amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, congenital, 1

An autosomal recessive form of congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia, a hematologic disorder characterized by severe reduction of megakaryocytes and platelets at birth, and evolving into generalized bone marrow aplasia during childhood.

Leukemia, acute myelogenous

A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes.

X-linked dyserythropoietic anemia and thrombocytopenia

Disorder characterized by erythrocytes with abnormal size and shape, and paucity of platelets in peripheral blood. The bone marrow contains abundant and abnormally small megakaryocytes.

LEOPARD syndrome 1

A disorder characterized by lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormalities of genitalia, retardation of growth, and sensorineural deafness.

Leukemia, acute myelogenous

A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes.

Celiac disease 13

A multifactorial, chronic disorder of the small intestine caused by intolerance to gluten. It is characterized by immune-mediated enteropathy associated with failed intestinal absorption, and malnutrition. In predisposed individuals, the ingestion of gluten-containing food such as wheat and rye induces a flat jejunal mucosa with infiltration of lymphocytes.

Leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic

An aggressive pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative disorder characterized by malignant transformation in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment with proliferation of differentiated progeny. Patients have splenomegaly, enlarged lymph nodes, rashes, and hemorrhages.

Leukemia, acute myelogenous

A subtype of acute leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. AML is a malignant disease of bone marrow characterized by maturational arrest of hematopoietic precursors at an early stage of development. Clonal expansion of myeloid blasts occurs in bone marrow, blood, and other tissue. Myelogenous leukemias develop from changes in cells that normally produce neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils and monocytes.
