Intellectual disability-cardiac anomalies-short stature-joint laxity syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth restriction, global developmental delay, intellectual disability, and dysmorphic facial features (such as broad nasal root, anteverted nares, long philtrum, low-set and posteriorly rotated ears, and short neck). Additional reported manifestations are microcephaly, short stature, vertebral abnormalities, joint laxity, ocular, cardiac, and renal defects, and minor limb anomalies. Brain imaging may show hypoplastic corpus callosum, delayed myelination, and cerebral atrophy.

Malformation syndrome

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.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

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.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
