Short rib-polydactyly syndrome, Verma-Naumoff type
Also known as: Short rib-polydactyly syndrome type 3Orphanet
Short rib-polydactyly syndrome, Verma-Naumoff type is a short rib-polydactyly syndrome characterized by short limb dwarfism, short ribs with thoracic dysplasia, postaxial polydactyly and protuberant abdomen. Associated multiple malformations include cardiovascular defects, renal agenesis /hypoplasia, abnormal cloacal development (ambiguous genitalia, anal atresia) and cerebellar hypoplasia. Short rib-polydactyly syndrome, Verma-Naumoff type follows an autosomal recessive mode of transmission. The disease is usually fatal in the perinatal period.

Medical Term | Other Names | Description |
---|---|---|
Anal atresia | Imperforate anus | Congenital absence of the anus, i.e., the opening at the bottom end of the intestinal tract. |
Renal agenesis | Missing kidney, Absent kidney, Renal aplasia [more] | Agenesis, that is, failure of the kidney to develop during embryogenesis and development. |
Disproportionate short-limb short stature | Short-limbed dwarfism, Micromelic dwarfism, Short-limb dwarfism, Disproportionate short limb dwarfism, Brachymelic dwarfism [more] | A type of disproportionate short stature characterized by a short limbs but an average-sized trunk. |
Protuberant abdomen | Abdominal protuberance | A thrusting or bulging out of the abdomen. |
Severe short stature | Proportionate dwarfism, Dwarfism | A severe degree of short stature, more than -4 SD from the mean corrected for age and sex. |
Limb undergrowth | limb shortening, Hypoplasia involving bones of the extremities, Short limb [more] | Limb shortening because of underdevelopment of one or more bones of the extremities. |
Ambiguous genitalia | Ambiguous external genitalia, Intersex genitalia, Ambiguous external genitalia at birth [more] | A genital phenotype that is not clearly assignable to a single gender. Ambiguous genitalia can be evaluated using the Prader scale: Prader 0: Normal female external genitalia. Prader 1: Female external genitalia with clitoromegaly. Prader 2: Clitoromegaly with partial labial fusion forming a funnel-shaped urogenital sinus. Prader 3: Increased phallic enlargement. Complete labioscrotal fusion forming a urogenital sinus with a single opening. Prader 4: Complete scrotal fusion with urogenital opening at the base or on the shaft of the phallus. Prader 5: Normal male external genitalia. The diagnosis of ambiguous genitalia is made for Prader 1-4. |
Postaxial polydactyly | Postaxial hexadactyly | A form of polydactyly in which the extra digit or digits are localized on the side of the fifth finger or fifth toe. |
Thoracic dysplasia | ||
Cerebellar hypoplasia | Hypoplastic cerebellum, Underdeveloped cerebellum, Small cerebellum, Congenital cerebellar hypoplasia [more] | Underdevelopment of the cerebellum. |
Polydactyly | A congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of supernumerary fingers or toes. | |
Short ribs | Rib hypoplasia, Hypoplastic ribs | Reduced rib length. |
