Any COACH syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a variation in the TMEM67 gene.
Features include always present findings: Global developmental delay; and very common findings: Moderate intellectual disability, Low muscle tone (hypotonia), Liver scarring (fibrosis) (hepatic fibrosis), and Molar tooth sign on MRI. 41 total HPO annotations.
