Short rib polydactyly syndrome Saldino Noonan type

Definitions
A rare ciliopathy with major skeletal involvement characterized by short ribs with an extremely narrow thorax, very short limbs, absent or very small fibulae, severe metaphyseal dysplasia of tubular bones, post-axial polydactyly, and defective ossification in the calvaria, vertebrae, pelvis, and bones of the hands and feet. Congenital anomalies of multiple other organs have also been described, such as polycystic kidneys, transposition of the great vessels, and atretic lesions of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract. Hydrops fetalis may be observed at an early gestational age.

Hydrops fetalis may be observed at an early gestational age. An extremely rare type of short rib polydactyly syndrome with neonatal onset. The disease has characteristics of polydactyly, hydropic appearance, and small thorax with short horizontal ribs causing fatal cardiorespiratory distress. Affected patients also have extreme micromelia ('flipper-like' extremities), pointed metaphyses and a range of other ossification defects. Extraskeletal manifestations may include polycystic kidneys, transposition of the great vessels and atresia of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems.
