Summary

Posterior amelia with pelvic and pulmonary hypoplasia syndrome (PAPPAS) is characterized by absent lower limbs, severely hypoplastic or absent pelvic bones, and hypoplasia of the sacrum, as well as hypoplasia of the lungs with pulmonary segmentation defect. Ambiguous genitalia have also been observed (Kariminejad et al., 2019). Heterozygous mutation in the TBX4 gene causes ischiocoxopodopatellar syndrome with or without pulmonary arterial hypertension (ICPPS; 147891). [from OMIM]
