A metabolic disorder characterized by prolonged apnea after the use of certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium and other ester local anesthetics. The duration of the prolonged apnea varies significantly depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. It is caused by mutations in the BCHE located on chromosome 3 (3q26.1-3q26.2) and multiple atypical variants have been identified. The condition is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. |

Humero-radio-ulnar synostosis is an extremely rare, genetic, congenital joint formation defect disorder characterized by uni- or bilateral fusion of the humerus, radius and ulnar bones, leading to loss of elbow motion and, in most, functional arm incapacity. It may appear as distal humeral bifurcation with absent elbow joint and shortened arm length on imaging. Hand abnormalities, namely oligoectrosyndactyly, may be associated. |

Hunter-McAlpine craniosynostosis is characterized by craniosynostosis, intellectual deficit, short stature, facial dysmorphism (oval face with almond-shaped palpebral fissures, droopy eyelids and a small nose) and minor distal anomalies. It has been described in 10 patients. Transmission is autosomal dominant and the syndrome is associated with partial duplication of the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q35-5qter). |

A rare, genetic, human prion disease characterized by adult-onset neurodegenerative manifestations associated with a movement disorder and psychiatric/behavioral disturbances. Patients typically present personality changes, aggressiveness, manias, anxiety and/or depression in conjunction with rapidly progressive cognitive decline (presenting with dysarthria, apraxia, aphasia, and eventually leading to dementia) as well as ataxia (manifesting with gait disturbances, unsteadiness, coordination problems), Parkinsonism, myoclonus, and/or chorea. Additional features may include generalized spasticity, seizures, urine incontinence and pyramidal abnormalities. |

A rare genetic disease characterised by infantile or childhood onset of abnormal growth of hyalinised fibrous tissue, giving rise to multiple cutaneous nodules and/or pearly papules predominantly affecting the scalp, ears, neck, face, hands, and feet. Involvement of other organs results in gingival hyperplasia, osteolytic bone lesions, and joint contractures. Some patients exhibit visceral involvement with intractable diarrhoea, increased susceptibility to infections, and severe failure to thrive. |
