MedGen UID:
395828
•Concept ID:
C2697933

Disease or Syndrome

Definition

A rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in the TGFBR1 gene. It is characterized by vascular abnormalities (aortic and arterial aneurysms, aortic dissection, and tortuosity of the arteries), hypertelorism, bifid uvula, and early fusion of the skull bones. [from NCI]
