Oculoosteocutaneous syndrome

ORPHA:2713Malformation syndrome

What it is

A rare multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by short stature and particularly pronounced shortening of the third to fifth metacarpals and metatarsals, congenital anodontia, sparse hair, dyspigmentation of the skin, hypoplastic nipples and underdeveloped external genitals in females, and multiple ocular abnormalities (such as distichiasis, strabismus, nystagmus, lenticular opacities, and severe myopia, among others). Dysmorphic craniofacial features include brachycephaly, downslanting palpebral fissures, broad nasal root, low-set ears, and small maxilla and prominent mandible. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1968.

ICD-10 codes

Q87.5filed under a broader ICD-10 category — shared with 54 other rare diseases
