•Concept ID:
C4021975
•
Anatomical Abnormality
HPO: HP:0100765

Definition

An abnormality of the tonsils. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Lung fibrosis-immunodeficiency-46,XX gonadal dysgenesis syndrome
MedGen UID:
461506
•Concept ID:
C3150156

Disease or Syndrome
Lung fibrosis-immunodeficiency-46,XX gonadal dysgenesis syndrome is characterised by immune deficiency, gonadal dysgenesis and fatal lung fibrosis. So far, it has been described in two sisters born to consanguineous parents. Both karyotypes were normal female (46,XX). No genetic anomalies could be identified by comparative genome hybridization analysis of their genomes or by analysis of genes known to be associated with these types of anomalies.
