RAPADILINO syndrome is an abbreviation of its hallmark features: radial hypo-/aplasia, patellae hypo-/aplasia and cleft or highly arched palate, diarrhoea and dislocated joints, little size and limb malformation, nose slender and normal intelligence. It is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in human DNA helicase RECQL4. Unlike its allelic disorders Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and Baller-Gerold syndrome, RAPADILINO syndrome lacks poikiloderma.
