SNOMED CT: Hydrocephalus, cardiac malformation, dense bone syndrome (717859007); Beemer Ertbruggen syndrome (717859007); Beemer lethal malformation syndrome (717859007)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:

C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

A lethal malformation syndrome reported in 2 brothers of first-cousin parents with characteristics of hydrocephalus, cardiac malformation, dense bones and unusual facies with down-slanting palpebral fissures, bulbous nose, broad nasal bridge, micrognathia and a long upper lip. Transmission is likely autosomal recessive. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1984. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
