General Information of Disease (ID: DISA9EM1)

Disease Name Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type
Synonyms acrodental dysostosis of Weyers; curry Hall syndrome; wad; acrofacial dysostosis of Weyers; Weyers acrofacial dysostosis; Weyers acrodental dysostosis; curry-Hall syndrome
Definition
Acrofacialdysostosis, Weyers type (WAD) is a rare ectodermal dysplasia syndrome with bone abnormalities characterized by onychodystrophy; anomalies of the lower jaw, oral vestibule and dentition; post-axialpolydactyly; moderately restricted growth with short limbs; and normal intelligence. Although it closely resembles Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, an allelic disorder and another type of ciliopathy, WAD is usually a milder disease without the presence of heart abnormalities and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
