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 an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.

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:
