Van Maldergem syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by intellectual disability, typical craniofacial features, auditory malformations resulting in hearing loss, and skeletal and limb malformations. Some patients have renal hypoplasia. Brain MRI typically shows periventricular nodular heterotopia (summary by Cappello et al., 2013). Genetic Heterogeneity of Van Maldergem Syndrome See also VMLDS2 (615546), caused by mutation in the FAT4 gene (612411) on chromosome 4q28. [from OMIM]

Patients with MVP2 have nonsyndromic MVP of variable severity inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of mitral valve prolapse, see MVP1 (157700). [from OMIM]
