The first reported case of Bartsocas–Papas syndrome

Bartsocas–Papas syndrome is an autosomal recessive form of popliteal pterygium syndrome.[1][2][3] It was first described by Christos S. Bartsocas and Costas V. Papas.[2]

Disease definition

According to the Genetic and Rare Diseases Research Center:[4]

Bartsocas–Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited, popliteal pterygium syndrome characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly, atypical face with short palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplasticnose, filiform bands between the jaws and facial clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital anomalies, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent hair, eyebrows, lashes and nails).

Locus

Μutations in RIPK4 cause the autosomal recessive form of the Bartsocas–Papas syndrome.[5][6]
