Van Maldergem syndrome
Definition:
Van Maldergem syndrome (VMS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by intellectual disability, hypotonia, distinctive combination of minor facial anomalies, finger camptodactyly, and joint hyperlaxity. Biallelic mutations in genes encoding the receptor-ligand cadherin pair DCHS1 and FAT4 result in VMS.
