CHILD syndrome associates congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects (MIM.308050). It is an X-linked dominant trait with lethality for male embryos.
A symmetric distribution of this nevus can exceptionally be seen in patients with CHILD syndrome.
The disorder is caused by mutations in NSDHL (MIM.300275), a gene playing an important role in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway.
CHILD syndrome is due to loss of function of an enzyme involved in cholesterol (...)

hypochondrogenesis
19 January 2007Definition: Hypochondrogenesis is a rare, severe disorder of bone growth. This condition is characterized by a small body, short limbs, and abnormal bone formation (ossification) in the spine and pelvis.
Affected infants have short arms and legs, a small chest with short ribs, and underdeveloped lungs. Bones in the skull develop normally, but the bones of the spine (vertebrae) and pelvis do not harden (ossify) properly.
The face appears flat and oval-shaped, with widely spaced eyes, a (...) -

North American Indian childhood cirrhosis
9 October 2008North American Indian childhood cirrhosis (NAIC) have been described an isolated nonsyndromic form of cholestasis in Ojibway-Cree children from First Nations communities in the Abitibi region of northwestern Quebec, Canada.
The disease typically presents, in a child who is otherwise well, with transient neonatal jaundice that progresses to biliary cirrhosis requiring hepatic transplantation in childhood or early adulthood.
The biochemical and histopathologic features of the disease (...) -

Definition: Autosomal dominant hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome is caused by mutation in the STAT3 gene (MIM.102582) (Job-Beckley syndrome).
Hyper-IgE recurrent infection syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by chronic eczema, recurrent (...) -
