Cenani-Lenz syndactyly syndrome
Definition:
Cenani-Lenz syndactyly syndrome (CLSS) is an autosomal-recessive congenital malformation syndrome characterized by syndactyly and/or oligodactyly and kidney anomalies. The cause of CLSS is LRP4, a low-density lipoprotein receptor that modulates Wnt signaling.
