CARPENTER SYNDROME

Alternate names

CARPENTER SYNDROME Is also known as acrocephalopolysyndactyly type 2, acps2

Description

Carpenter syndrome is a subtype of a family of genetic disorders known as acrocephalopolysyndactyly (ACPS) disorders.

Most common symptoms of CARPENTER SYNDROME

  • Intellectual disability
  • Global developmental delay
  • Hypertelorism
  • Sensorineural hearing impairment
  • Abnormal facial shape

CARPENTER SYNDROME 1; CRPT1

Alternate names

CARPENTER SYNDROME 1; CRPT1 Is also known as carpenter syndrome, acrocephalopolysyndactyly type ii, acps ii

Description

Carpenter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with the cardinal features of acrocephaly with variable synostosis of the sagittal, lambdoid, and coronal sutures; peculiar facies; brachydactyly of the hands with syndactyly; preaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the feet; congenital heart defects; growth retardation; mental retardation; hypogenitalism; and obesity. In addition, cerebral malformations, oral and dental abnormalities, coxa valga, genu valgum, hydronephrosis, precocious puberty, and hearing loss may be observed (summary by Altunhan et al., 2011). Genetic Heterogeneity of Carpenter SyndromeCarpenter syndrome-2 (CRPT2 ), in which the features of Carpenter syndrome are sometimes associated with defective lateralization, is caused by mutation in the MEGF8 gene (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of CARPENTER SYNDROME 1; CRPT1

  • Intellectual disability
  • Short stature
  • Hearing impairment
  • Scoliosis
  • Growth delay
