HDR syndrome (HDRS), also known as Barakat syndrome, is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by the triad of Hypoparathyroidism (H), nerve Deafness (D) and/or Renal disease (R). Variable clinical features include hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, polycystic ovaries, congenital heart disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and cognitive disability (Barakat et al., 2018). [from OMIM]

Ring chromosome 7 syndrome is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome, with highly variable phenotype, principally characterized by growth failure, short stature, intellectual disability, dermatological abnormalities (nevus flammeus, dark pigmented nevi, café-au-lait spots), microcephaly and facial dysmorphism (incl. facial asymmetry, small ears, abnormal palpebral fissures, ptosis, epicanthic folds, hyper/hypotelorism). Additional reported features include convulsions, cleft lip and palate, clinodactyly, kyphoscoliosis and genital anomalies (i.e. cryptorchidism, hypospadias, micropenis). [from ORDO]

An anomaly of the complex formed by the Q, R, and S waves, which occur in rapid succession on the electrocardiogram. [from HPO]

A rare, genetic, benign disorder of cobalamin transport, due to variable degrees of transcobalamin I deficiency, characterized by mildly low to almost undetectable plasma transcobalamin I levels and slighly low to absent serum cobalamin levels. Normal methylmalonic acid and homocysteine serum values and absence of megaloblastic anemia are reported. No specific clinical manifestations are associated and patients are typically asymptomatic. [from ORDO]

An autosomal anomaly with characteristics of variable clinical features, most commonly including global developmental delay, hypotonia, growth retardation with microcephaly, intellectual disability with severe speech delay, seizures or abnormal EEG, autistic spectrum disorder and other behavioral characteristics. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Fanconi anemia (FA) is characterized by physical abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and increased risk for malignancy. Physical abnormalities, present in approximately 75% of affected individuals, include one or more of the following: short stature, abnormal skin pigmentation, skeletal malformations of the upper and/or lower limbs, microcephaly, and ophthalmic and genitourinary tract anomalies. Progressive bone marrow failure with pancytopenia typically presents in the first decade, often initially with thrombocytopenia or leukopenia. The incidence of acute myeloid leukemia is 13% by age 50 years. Solid tumors – particularly of the head and neck, skin, and genitourinary tract – are more common in individuals with FA. [from GeneReviews]

Increased time for the complex comprised of the Q wave, R wave, and S wave as measured by the electrocardiogram (EKG).. In adults, normal values are 0.06 - 0.10 sec. [from HPO]

Elevation of the voltage (height) of the QRS complex. There are several criteria in use, but the most common is the Sokolov-Lyon criterion (S wave depth in V1 + tallest R wave height in V5-V6 greater than 35 mm). [from HPO]

A rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome with a highly variable phenotype. Principle characteristics are prenatal/postnatal growth failure, intellectual disability, developmental delay, craniofacial dysmorphism (including microcephaly, microphthalmia, epicanthus, low-set and malformed ears, broad and flat nasal bridge, full lips, micrognathia), central nervous system anomalies (for example hydrocephalus, cortical atrophy, ventriculomegaly), short neck, and delayed bone age. Cardiac defects, limb anomalies, hip joint malformations and seizures have also been reported. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

A rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome with a highly variable phenotype that may range from normal to patients with profound intellectual disability, developmental delay, learning disability (especially speech) and mild dysmorphism (including micro/macrocephaly, prominent forehead, low-set and posteriorly rotated ears, hypertelorism, high nasal bridge, prominent philtrum, retro/micrognathia). Mild hypotonia and autistic-like mannerisms (for example hand opening and closing, head banging) may also be associated. Other anomalies, such as cutis laxa, hearing loss, syndactyly, digital hypoplasia and talipes equinovarus have also been reported. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Cis-3-hexen-1-ol (C3HEX) is present in a wide range of foods and beverages, including wine and spirits, olive oil, vegetables, fruit, and green tea. C3HEX is commonly associated with sensory characteristics such as 'green' and 'grassy.' The probability of an individual's ability to detect C3HEX at a particular intensity (the R-index) can be estimated, and the threshold for detection is normally distributed (summary by Jaeger et al., 2010). [from OMIM]

A rare genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis. A syndrome characterized by the association of congenital poikiloderma (P), generalized alopecia (A), retrognathism (R) and cleft palate (C). There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1990. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

VATER is a mnemonically useful acronym for the nonrandom association of vertebral defects (V), anal atresia (A), tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia (TE), and radial or renal dysplasia (R). This combination of associated defects was pointed out by Quan and Smith (1972). Nearly all cases have been sporadic. VACTERL is an acronym for an expanded definition of the association that includes cardiac malformations (C) and limb anomalies (L). The VACTERL association is a spectrum of various combinations of its 6 components, which can be a manifestation of several recognized disorders rather than a distinct anatomic or etiologic entity (Khoury et al., 1983). Also see VATER/VACTERL association with hydrocephalus (VACTERL-H; 276950) and VACTERL with or without hydrocephalus (VACTERLX; 314390). [from OMIM]

VACTERL describes a constellation of congenital anomalies, including vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, congenital cardiac disease, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, radial dysplasia, and other limb defects; see 192350. Cases of familial VACTERL with hydrocephalus (H) have been reported with suggestion of autosomal recessive or X-linked inheritance (see 314390). Other patients thought to have VACTERL-H, including 2 unrelated infants reported by Porteous et al. (1992), had been found to have Fanconi anemia (see 227650). Porteous et al. (1992) suggested that chromosomal breakage studies should be performed in all cases of VACTERL/VACTERL-H to rule out Fanconi anemia. Alter et al. (2007) noted that a VATER phenotype had been reported in Fanconi anemia of complementation groups A (227650), C (227645), D1 (605724), E (600901), F (603467), and G (614082). X-linked VACTERL-H is also associated with mutations in the FANCB gene (300515). [from OMIM]

Classic Joubert syndrome (JS) is characterized by three primary findings: A distinctive cerebellar and brain stem malformation called the molar tooth sign (MTS). Hypotonia. Developmental delays. Often these findings are accompanied by episodic tachypnea or apnea and/or atypical eye movements. In general, the breathing abnormalities improve with age, truncal ataxia develops over time, and acquisition of gross motor milestones is delayed. Cognitive abilities are variable, ranging from severe intellectual disability to normal. Additional findings can include retinal dystrophy, renal disease, ocular colobomas, occipital encephalocele, hepatic fibrosis, polydactyly, oral hamartomas, and endocrine abnormalities. Both intra- and interfamilial variation are seen. [from GeneReviews]

Adult Refsum disease (ARD is associated with elevated plasma phytanic acid levels, late childhood-onset (or later) retinitis pigmentosa, and variable combinations of anosmia, polyneuropathy, deafness, ataxia, and ichthyosis. Onset of symptoms ranges from age seven months to older than age 50 years. Cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure caused by cardiomyopathy are potentially severe health problems that develop later in life. [from GeneReviews]

Increased time for the PR interval (beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex). [from HPO]
