Medical genetics

Faciocardiorenal syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial dysmorphisms, congenital heart defects, and the presence of a horseshoe kidney, alongside intellectual disabilities. [2] Facial dysmorphisms include protruding ears, narrowing of the mouth, cleft palate, hypertelorism, etc. [3] Only 4 cases from the United States, [4] Northern Ireland, [5] and Mexico [6] have been described in the medical literature. [7] Transmission is, presumably, autosomal recessive. [2]

Barakat syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal disease, and hence also known as HDR syndrome. It is an autosomal dominant condition with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity that was first described by Amin J. Barakat et al. in 1977.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">SCARF syndrome</span> Medical condition

SCARF syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by skeletal abnormalities, cutis laxa, craniostenosis, ambiguous genitalia, psychomotor retardation, and facial abnormalities. These characteristics are what make up the acronym SCARF. It shares some features with Lenz-Majewski hyperostotic dwarfism. It is a very rare disease with an incidence rate of approximately one in a million newborns. It has been clinically described in two males who were maternal cousins, as well as a 3-month-old female. Babies affected by this syndrome tend to have very loose skin, giving them an elderly facial appearance. Possible complications include dyspnea, abdominal hernia, heart disorders, joint disorders, and dislocations of multiple joints. It is believed that this disease's inheritance is X-linked recessive.

To date, about 50 cases have been reported.

Sanjad–Sakati syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic condition seen in offspring of Middle Eastern origin.
