| A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies syndrome with characteristics of short stature, hand brachydactyly with hypoplastic distal phalanges, global development delay, intellectual disability and more variably; seizures, obesity, and craniofacial dysmorphism that includes microcephaly, high forehead, flat face, hypertelorism, deep set eyes, flat nasal bridge, averted nostrils, long philtrum, thin lip vermilion and short neck. The malformation is due to a loss of function in the enzyme protein arginine N-methyltransferase 7 (encoded by PRMT7, 16q22.1) resulting in decreased levels of protein arginine methylation. Transmission is autosomal recessive. |
