| A rare genetic multiple congenital anomalies/dysmorphic syndrome with characteristics of craniofacial dysmorphism (midface hypoplasia, depressed nasal bridge, small nose with upturned tip, cleft palate, Pierre Robin sequence), bilateral, pronounced sensorineural hearing loss and skeletal/joint anomalies (including spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, arthralgia/arthropathy), in the absence of ocular abnormalities. There is evidence the disease is caused by heterozygous mutation in the COL11A2 gene on chromosome 6p21. |
