Overview
Carpenter syndrome [1] is an extremely rare autosomal recessive[2] congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial malformations, obesity, and syndactyly.[2]
Historical Perspective
It was first characterized in 1909.[3]
Pathophysiology
Genetics
Carpenter syndrome has been associated with mutations in the RAB23 gene,[4] which is located on chromosome 6 in humans.
Diagnosis
Physical Examination
Carpenter syndrome presents several features:
- Tower-shaped skull (craniosynostosis)
- Additional or fused digits (fingers and toes)
- Obesity
- Reduced height
Mental deficiency is also common with the disorder, although some patients may have average intellectual capacity.[5]
