A subtype of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa characterised by generalised cutaneous and mucosal blistering that is not associated with severe deformities.The disease manifests at birth or during the neonatal period with generalised blistering. Aplasia cutis congenita can also be observed at birth. The disease is caused by mutations within the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) that lead to an alteration of function or a reduction in the amounts of collagen VII. This impairs collagen VII assembly into anchoring fibrils which anchor the basement membrane to the underlying dermis. This in turn causes reduced skin resistance to minor trauma. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A subtype of junctional epidermolysis bullosa the condition occurs in childhood or young adulthood. 22 patients in 12 families have been reported to date. Blistering occurs at first around nails, accompanied by nail dystrophy and shedding, and then affects the hands and feet and, to a lesser extent, the elbows, knees, along with atrophic scarring. Other manifestations include disappearance of dermatoglyphs and palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. Extracutaneous involvement is restricted to soft tissue abnormalities of the oral cavity and enamel defects with development of caries. COL17A1 mutations have recently been described in an affected family. The condition follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

A syndromal osteochondrodysplasia due to a contiguous gene deletion syndrome. The characteristics of this syndrome are progressive bowing of forearms and forelegs leading to mesomelia, progressive intracarpal or intratarsal bone fusion and fusion of metacarpal bones with proximal phalanges, ptosis, hypertelorism, abnormal soft palate, congenital heart defect and ureteral anomalies. To date 5 unrelated patients have been reported, including one family with multiple affected persons. This syndrome is due to a non-recurrent microdeletion in 8q13. All patients have a deletion of two contiguous genes: SULF1 and SLCO5A1. Transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A syndrome affecting the development of blood vessels, soft tissue and bone with three characteristic features: port-wine stain, abnormal overgrowth of soft tissues and bones and venous malformations. Caused by mutations in the PIK3CA gene. This gene provides instructions for making the p110 alpha (p110α) protein, which is a subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). The PIK3CA gene mutations associated with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome alter the p110α protein. The altered subunit makes PI3K abnormally active, which allows cells to grow and divide continuously. Increased cell proliferation leads to abnormal growth of the bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels. This syndrome is almost always sporadic meaning it can occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family. Studies suggest that the condition results from gene mutations that are not inherited. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A syndrome associating neonatal diabetes, congenital hypothyroidism, congenital glaucoma, hepatopathy evolving to fibrosis and polycystic kidneys. It has been described in two siblings. Minor facial anomalies were also observed. Two other families presented incomplete forms of this syndrome.

A syndrome with the association of demyelinating leucodystrophy and progressive cerebellar ataxia, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and hypodontia. It has been diagnosed in four unrelated patients. These symptoms suggest the association of a myelination defect (of the central and peripheral nervous systems) with an endocrinal deficiency of the pituitary gland. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A syndromic craniosynostosis with a wide range of clinical findings even within a single family. Most have coronal synostosis however synostosis of other sutures, all sutures, macrocephaly without craniosynostosis, or a normal skull may be observed.
