Muggenthaler-Chowdhury-Chioza syndrome (MCCS) is a novel syndrome characterized by orofacial clefting, facial dysmorphism, congenital heart disease, and ocular abnormalities. It has been reported that mutations in HYAL2 cause this syndrome. HYAL2, encoding hyaluronidase 2, degrades extracellular hyaluronan, a critical component of the developing heart and palatal shelf matrix.
