Deafness-onychodystrophy syndrome

What it is

Deafness-onychodystrophy syndrome is a group of rare, genetic, developmental defect during embryogenesis disorders characterized by the association of sensorineural deafness and onychodystrophy (e.g. absent/hypoplastic finger and toenails), as well as brachydactyly and finger-like thumbs. Additional features present in one of the diseases comprising this group include osteodystrophy, intellectual disability, seizures, developmental delay, and distinctive facies.

Clinical group

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Genes reported in subtypes

Orphanet records these genes on 2 more specific entries under this disorder, not on this entry itself:

A well-studied disease is usually split into subtypes, and the gene is curated on whichever one the evidence belongs to. Open a subtype to see which gene goes with it.
