| Description |
ENDOVE syndrome is a complex limb malformation featuring mesomelic shortening, syndactyly and ventral nails. Homozygous non-coding deletions located upstream of the engrailed-1 gene (EN1) have been identified in patients. EN1 is a gene critical for dorsal-ventral patterning in the limb. It has also been reported that loss-of-function mutations in EN1 result in a recessively inherited combined limb-brain malformation. The patients are with a limb phenotype, and in addition, a severe neurological condition characterized by spasticity, seizures, and complete aplasia of the cerebellum.
