Summaries for Alazami Syndrome

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: 73 A syndromic form of primordial dwarfism, a condition characterized by severe growth restriction that has its onset in utero, and results in short stature and undersize. ALAZS patients manifest severe intellectual disability and distinct facial features including malar hypoplasia, deep-set eyes, broad nose, short philtrum, and macrostomia. Some patients have non-specific and inconsistent skeletal findings, for example, scoliosis and mild epiphyseal changes in the proximal phalanges, but no frank dysplasia.

MalaCards based summary: Alazami Syndrome, also known as microcephalic primordial dwarfism, alazami type, is related to alacrima, achalasia, and mental retardation syndrome and persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous, autosomal recessive. An important gene associated with Alazami Syndrome is LARP7 (La Ribonucleoprotein 7, Transcriptional Regulator). Affiliated tissues include eye, skin and bone, and related phenotypes are widely spaced teeth and intellectual disability, severe

Orphanet: 58 A rare form of primordial dwarfism, often microcephalic, characterized by short stature, global developmental delay, variable intellectual disability and recognizable dysmorphic facial features (triangular face, prominent forehead, deeply set eyes, low-set ears, wide nose, malar hypoplasia, wide mouth, thick lips, and widely spaced teeth).

OMIM®: 57 Alazami syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe growth restriction present at birth, severely impaired intellectual development, and distinctive facial features. Some patients have been reported with skeletal and behavioral features (summary by Imbert-Bouteille et al., 2019). (615071) (Updated 24-Oct-2022)
