Congenital sensori-neural deafness associated with onycho-osteo dystrophy and mental retardation (D.O.O.R. syndrome)

Congenital sensori-neural deafness associated with onycho-osteo dystrophy and mental retardation (D.O.O.R. syndrome)

R J Cantwell. Humangenetik. 1975.

Abstract

A characteristic syndrome is described in which congenital sensori-neural deafness is associated not only with onychodystrophy but also with congenital bony anomalies the most characteristic of which are tri-phalangeal thumbs, bi-phalangeal digits of hands and feet, and dystrophic terminal phalanges of some of the fingers and toes. In addition, there is mental retardation and the dermatoglyphics are characterized by the presence of 10 arches and elevation of the atd angles. The syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive. It is suggested that this entity be named the D.O.O.R. Syndrome because of the deafness, onychodystrophy, osteodystrophy and retardation. A similar syndrome without retardation as described by Goodman et al. (1969) appears to be inherited as an autosomal dominant.
