Robinow syndrome

Robinow syndrome is a rare genetic condition that primarily affects the development of the limbs, head, face, and external genitalia. People with this condition often have limb shortening along with distinctive facial features and abnormalities in the genital area. Due to its genetic nature, Robinow syndrome is recognized as a congenital condition, meaning that it is present from birth. The syndrome has been known by several names such as Robinow dwarfism, fetal face syndrome, and mesomelic dwarfism-small genitalia syndrome, which reflects the variety of physical traits observed in affected individuals.

Common signs of Robinow syndrome include shortened limbs, unique facial features, and abnormal development of the external genitalia. These symptoms contribute to the varied appearance among people with this condition.

Robinow syndrome is described as a genetic syndrome, indicating that changes in genes are involved in its development. However, details about the specific genetic mutations or risk factors are not provided in the available information.
