chondroectodermal dysplasia


chon·dro·ec·to·der·mal dys·pla·si·a

[MIM*225500] triad of chondrodysplasia, ectodermal dysplasia, and polydactyly, with congenital heart defects in over half of patients; autosomal recessive inheritance; caused by a mutation in the EU gene on 4p. Maps to human chromosome 4p16. Synonym(s): Ellis-van Creveld syndrome

Ellis van Creveld syndrome

A rare autosomal dominant condition (OMIM:225500) often caused by a so-called founder effect, which is characterised by dental defects, nail dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, short-limbed dwarfism, normal intelligence and atrial septal defect resulting in a common atrium (occurs in 60% of affected individuals). Ellis van Creveld and Weyers syndrome may coexist within pedigrees.
Management
Surgery for polydactyly; dental surveillance in the first decade of life.
Molecular pathology
Mutation of EVC on chromosome 4p16.2.
