ZTTK syndrome

What it is

A rare, genetic, multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability and mild to moderate facial dysmorphism in association with variable brain malformations (including abnormal gyration patterns, ventriculomegaly, white matter abnormalities, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and cerebellar hemispheres), musculoskeletal abnormalities (including hemivertebrae, scoliosis or kyphosis, contractures, and joint laxity), ocular involvement (strabismus, hypermetropia and cortical visual impairment) and hypotonia. Additional clinical manifestations may include seizures, short stature urogenital malformations, heart defects and gastrointestinal malformations.

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.
