SHORT syndrome

Congenital Malformations and Chromosomal Abnormalities

SHORT syndrome is an uncommon condition inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Its recognised features are ocular depression, Rieger anomaly, delayed teething, small height, hyperextensibility of the joints, and hernias, which may or may not be present. The syndrome was characterized in 1975. The Medicine Atlas records it as a rare inherited syndrome with a distinctive combination of eye, dental, growth and joint findings, described here only as far as its cited source supports.
