Short stature-craniofacial anomalies-genital hypoplasia syndrome

What it is

A rare developmental defect during embryogenesis mainly characterized by severe intellectual disability, short stature, hypogonadism, and distinct facial dysmorphism (including trigonocephaly, prominent forehead, asymmetric and flat face, hypertelorism, epicanthus, downslanting palpebral fissures, ptosis, low-set angulated ears, small mouth, high-arched/cleft palate crowded teeth, microretrognathia), as well as slender hands and/or feet. Variable additional features may include pterygia, hypoplastic nipples, cardiac anomaly, distal muscular wasting, limb contractures, skeletal anomalies (e.g. scoliosis, pectus excavatum, bilateral clubfeet), hypothyroidism, seizures, and cerebral anomalies. Puberty may be delayed.

Classified as

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.

Related health topics

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