Progeroid features-hepatocellular carcinoma predisposition syndrome

What it is

A rare inherited cancer-predisposing syndrome characterized by early-onset hepatocellular carcinoma, genomic instability, and progeroid features, such as short stature, low body weight, muscular atrophy, lipodystrophy, bilateral cataracts, and premature hair graying. Dysmorphic craniofacial features include triangular face, small, deep-set eyes, and micrognathia. Kyphoscoliosis, sloping shoulders, mild pectus excavatum, bilateral contractures of the elbows and fingers, bilateral clinodactyly, and pes planus have also been reported.

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.
