ORPHA:1133Malformation syndrome
Also called Acrorenal defect-ectodermal dysplasia-diabetes syndrome
What it is
A rare genetic ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by lipoatrophic diabetes, mild craniofacial dysmorphism (such as pronounced antitragal incisura and mandibular prognathism), ectodermal dysplasia (generalized hypotrichosis and dental and nail abnormalities), hypoplasia or aplasia of the breasts, and urogenital/renal anomalies. Additional reported manifestations include skeletal abnormalities and hepatosplenomegaly. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1992.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
