Bohring-Opitz syndrome
Definition:
Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOPS) is characterized by trigonocephaly and associated anomalies, such as unusual facies, psychomotor retardation, redundant skin, joint and limb abnormalities, and visceral anomalies. BOPS is considered the more severe form of the C syndrome [DS:H01008], therefore known as C-like syndrome. Recently, It has been reported that de novo nonsense mutations in ASXL1 cause BOPS.
