Description |
Catel-Manzke syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by Pierre Robin sequence and a unique form of bilateral hyperphalangy causing clinodactyly of the index finger. Pierre Robin sequence is defined by micrognathia, obstruction of the airways due to a backward displacement of the tongue base, and, often but not always, cleft palate. Cardiac abnormalities, facial dysmorphisms, and additional skeletal abnormalities have also been described in a subset of patients with Catel-Manzke syndrome. Recently, homozygous or compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in TGDS have been discovered to cause Catel-Manzke syndrome.
