  • Coffin siris syndrome

    Multiple bodily systems are impacted by the illness known as Coffin-Siris syndrome. Developmental disability, anomalies of the fifth (pinky) fingers or toes, and distinctive facial features are trademarks of this disorder, despite the fact that there are numerous diverse signs and symptoms. 1. The majority of those affected have mild to severe intellectual disabilities or delayed speech and motor skill development  Read More

  • Greenfield disease

    Metachromatic leukodystrophy-MLD is also known as Greenfield’s disease. Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disease, wherein the myelin sheath that covers most of the nerve fibers of the central and peripheral nervous systems gets damaged. 1. The deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase A - ARSA or its sphingolipid activator protein B -SapB results in MLD or greenfield disease.  Read More

  • Holoprosencephaly

    Holoprosencephaly is a neuroanatomical malformation of the forebrain or frontal lobe. Impaired signaling between the neural crest and neural ectoderm is the cause of the disorder. it occurs during the period of gastrulation, two or three weeks after conception. Incomplete midline cleavage of the forebrain and craniofacial midline defects are the primary clinical features. Many genetic defects have been attributed to the disease. Nongenetic causes  Read More

  • Microcephaly

    Microcephaly is an uncommon neurological ailment in which an infant's head is significantly smaller than other kids of the same age and gender. Microcephaly, which is sometimes discovered at birth, arises when there is an issue with brain growth in pregnancy or when the brain stops expanding after birth.A range of genes and environmental influences can contribute to microcephaly. Children with microcephaly frequently hav  Read More

  • Neonatal progeroid syndrome

    Neonatal Progeroid syndrome, otherwise termed as Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch, is a rare genetic condition denoted by an aged appearance at the time of birth. Symptoms involve the growth restriction specific to the uterus, feeding ordeals, varying craniofacial features, hypotonia (low muscle tone), developmental impediments and mild to extreme intellectual disabilities. Risk factors of Neonatal Progeroid Syndrome  Read More

  • Norrie syndrome

    Norrie disease is a rare X-linked disorder that occurs due to errors or disruption (mutations) of the NDP gene. All males are affected by loss of vision present at birth or shortly thereafter. Additional symptoms may occur in some cases, although this varies even among individuals in the same family. Most affected individuals develop hearing (auditory) loss which is progressive of many years and some may exhibit cognitive abnormali  Read More

  • Rubinstein taybi syndrome

    Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by shortened stature, mild to severe intellectual disabilities, peculiar facial features, broader thumbs and first toes, abnormalities of the eyes, kidney and heart complications, dental issues, and obesity. The life expectancy of affected children does not exceed 5 years of age. Mutations of certain genes in the DNA are the primary cause, making it a ge  Read More

  • Smith-magenis chromosome region

    Smith-Magenis syndrome is characterized by particular facial features, developmental delays, mental retardation and behavioral abnormalities. The facial features include a broad square-shaped face, an abnormally short, broad head (brachycephaly); an abnormally broad, flat midface; a broad nasal bridge; an unusually prominent jaw (prognathism); eyebrows growing across the base of the nose (synophrys); a short full tipped nose and fl  Read More
