| Syndrome with characteristics of various anomalies of the endocrine, cerebral, and skeletal systems resulting in neonatal mortality. Six cases from consanguineous parents have been described. Endocrine anomalies include hypoplasia of the adrenal and pituitary glands. Skeletal anomalies include micromelia, syndactyly, brachydactyly and ulnar deviation of hands. Facial anomalies, such as midface hypoplasia, micrognathia, and a flat and wide nasal bridge, are also observed. The disease is caused by mutations in the ICK gene, encoding an intestinal cell kinase. Transmission is autosomal recessive. |
