Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome
Other namesAthyroidal hypothyroidism-spiky hair-cleft palate syndrome

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome is a genetic condition that results in thyroid dysgenesis.[1][2] It is due to recessive mutations in forkhead/winged-helix domain transcription factor (FKLH15 or TTF2).[3] It is associated with FOXE1.[4]
