Maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 6 is an uniparental disomy of maternal origin characterized by intrauterine growth retardation. Homozygosity for a recessive disease mutation for which only a mother is a carrier may lead to other phenotypes.
Features include common findings: Inguinal hernia, Hydrocele testis, Cleft palate, and Cleft upper lip and others; and sometimes findings: Delayed gross motor development, Accelerated bone age after puberty, Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and Clitoral hypertrophy and others.
