MedGen UID:
766496
•Concept ID:
C3553582
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: SCKL6
 
Gene (location): CEP63 (3q22.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0013871
OMIM®: 614728

Definition

Any Seckel syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CEP63 gene. [from MONDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Short stature
MedGen UID:
87607
•Concept ID:
C0349588
•
Finding
A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
