The microlissencephaly-micromelia syndrome is a very rare congenital disease with the main features microcephaly , lissencephaly and micromelia .

Synonym : Basel-Vanagaite-Sirota syndrome

The name refers to the main authors of the first description from 2003 by the Israeli human geneticist Lina Basel-Vanagaite and colleagues.

The syndrome should not be confused with the Basel-Vanagaite-Smirin-Yosef syndrome .

Similar syndromes were described in 1980 with microcephaly, intrauterine growth retardation and micromelia and in 1998 with microcephaly, facial abnormalities, micromelia and mental retardation

Spread and cause

The frequency is given as less than 1 in 1,000,000, so far two sisters have been described. The inheritance is presumably autosomal - recessive , the cause is not yet known.

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria are:

In addition to hypoparathyroidism and hypertrichosis come.
