Any Cole-Carpenter syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the SEC24D gene.
Features include always present findings: Short stature, Mild bone density loss (osteopenia), Recurrent fractures, and Abnormally high-pitched voice and others; and very common findings: Coronal craniosynostosis, Low muscle tone (hypotonia), Hydrocephalus, and Macrocephaly and others. 31 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
