Hardikar Syndrome

Hardikar syndrome is a very rare multiple congenital malformation syndrome characterized by obstructive liver and kidney disease, intestinal malrotation, genitourinary abnormalities, cleft lip and palate, pigmentary retinopathy (breakdown of the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye), and congenital heart defects. Only four cases have been reported in the medical literature. The cause of this condition remains unknown, although an overlap with syndrome/Resources/1" target="_blank">Kabuki syndrome and syndrome/Resources/1" target="_blank">Alagille syndrome have been debated.
