Acrofrontofacionasal dysostosis Other names Richieri-Costa-Colletto syndrome[1]
Acrofrontofacionasal dysostosis is an extremely rare disorder , characterized by intellectual disability , short stature, hypertelorism , broad notched nasal tip, cleft lip/palate , postaxial camptobrachypolysyndactyly, fibular hypoplasia , and anomalies of foot structure.
An association with mutations in the neuroblastoma amplified sequence gene (NBAS ) has been reported.[2] This gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with the Short Stature, Optic Nerve Atrophy, and Pelger-Huet Anomaly syndrome and Infantile Liver Failure Syndrome.[citation needed ]
