An asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy that has material basis in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the WDR35 gene on chromosome 2p21.1.
Features include: Epicanthus, Micromelia, Hypoplastic scapulae, and Pulmonary hypoplasia and 33 more.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Kidneys and urinary system | 3 | Renal hypoplasia, Polycystic kidney dysplasia, Renal cyst |
Digestive system |
WDR35 function has not been fully characterized.
Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly is caused by mutations in the WDR35 gene on chromosome 2.
Genetic testing for WDR35 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
No clinical trials have been registered for short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly.
200 publications have been identified in PubMed for short-rib thoracic dysplasia 7 with or without polydactyly. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (36%), Basic Science / Preclinical (18%), and Epidemiology / Natural History (17%).
