Intellectual disability-muscle weakness-short stature-facial dysmorphism syndrome

What it is

A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, developmental delay, delayed bone age, short stature, generalized muscle weakness, and dysmorphic facial features (such as high arched eyebrows, downslanting palpebral fissures, prominent nose, and narrow palate and mouth). Additional reported manifestations include blue sclerae, ophthalmoplegia, and intention tremor. Brain imaging may show white matter abnormalities.

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.
