Feingold syndrome type 1

Feingold syndrome type 1 (FS1) is a rare inheritable condition that affects the development of multiple parts of the body. It is known for features such as a small head (microcephaly), short stature, and various digital anomalies. These digital differences can involve the fingers and toes, leading to structural variations that can be observed with physical examination. The syndrome is part of a group of genetic disorders where changes in a single gene can lead to multiple physical differences. Feingold syndrome type 1 is linked to changes in the MYCN gene. Overall, it is recognized as a malformation syndrome, meaning that it causes differences in the formation of body parts. Families and caregivers may notice these signs early in life and seek evaluation for a clearer diagnosis.

People with Feingold syndrome type 1 often have a small head size (microcephaly) and short stature. They also present with numerous digital anomalies, which means that there may be differences in the fingers and toes. Information about other possible symptoms is limited from the available sources.

Feingold syndrome type 1 is caused by changes in the MYCN gene. This genetic alteration is inherited, meaning that it can be passed down from parent to child. The alteration in this gene disrupts normal development, leading to the physical differences seen in the condition.
