Klippel-feil Syndrome 3, Autosomal Dominant; Kfs3

Description

Klippel-Feil syndrome is a congenital anomaly characterized by a defect in the formation or segmentation of the cervical vertebrae, resulting in a fused appearance. The clinical triad consists of short neck, low posterior hairline, and limited neck movement, although less than 50% of patients demonstrate all 3 clinical features (Tracy et al., 2004).For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Klippel-Feil syndrome, see KFS1 (OMIM ).
