Feingold syndrome

MIM.164280 2p24-p23

oculodigitoesophageal syndrome, ODED syndrome

Feingold syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by variable combinations of esophageal and duodenal atresias, microcephaly, learning disability, syndactyly and cardiac defect.

Synopsis

- short palpebral fissures (10817649)
- short stature (10817649)

- digestive anomalies

- hydronephrosis
- bilateral non-obstructive renal dysplasia (BNORD) (15185158)

- skeletal anomalies

- variable microcephaly
- learning disability (10817649)

Etiology

- heterozygous mutations in the gene MYCN in Feingold syndrome (15821734)

  • MYCN haploinsufficiency is associated with reduced brain size and intestinal atresias in Feingold syndrome (15821734)
  • All mutations are predicted to disrupt both the full-length protein and a new shortened MYCN isoform
