Mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia
Definition:
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia (MFDA) is a syndrome caused by de novo missense substitutions in EDNRA gene. The mandibulofacial dysostoses (MFDs) are characterized by malar and mandibular hypoplasia, typically associated with abnormalities of the ears and eyelids. All MFDA-affected individuals present with alopecia.
