oculodentodigital dysplasia

oculodentodigital dysplasia
(ODDD), oculodento-osseous dysplasia (ODOD) a rare hereditary condition caused by mutations in the GJA1 gene (locus: 6q21-q23.2), which encodes connexin 43, characterized by bilateral microphthalmos, abnormally small nose with anteverted nostrils, hypotrichosis, dental anomalies, camptodactyly, syndactyly, and missing phalanges of the toes. Inheritance is mainly autosomal dominant, but a rare autosomal recessive form also exists. Called also Meyer-Schwickerath and Weyers syndrome, oculodentodigital or oculodento-osseous syndrome, and ODD syndrome.
