Abruzzo-Erickson Syndrome

Abruzzo-Erickson syndrome is an extremely rare condition characterized by cleft palate, coloboma, hypospadius, deafness, short stature, and radioulnar synostosis. Although the underlying cause of the condition is still being studied, it appears to result, at least in part, from mutations in the TBX22 gene. The condition is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Treatment is generally aimed at addressing the symptoms present in each individual.
