Deafness-ear malformation-facial palsy syndrome is characterized by profound conductive deafness due to stapedial abnormalities associated with variable malformations of the external ears and facial paralysis. It has been described in three siblings and their mother. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.	Finding site	True	Facial nerve structure	Inferred relationship	Some	3
A rare genetic tremor disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of involuntary tremor of the chin and lower lip due to isolated myoclonus of the mentalis muscle.

There have been no further reports since 1996.	Finding site	True	Facial nerve structure	Inferred relationship	Some	4
Isolated hereditary congenital facial paralysis (IHCFP) is an extremely rare neurological disorder presumed to result from maldevelopment of the facial nucleus and/or cranial nerve and has been reported in fewer than 10 families to date. It manifests as non-progressive, isolated, unilateral or bilateral, symmetrical or asymmetrical facial palsy. Involvement of the branches of the facial nerve can be unequal.

Familial dyskinesia and facial myokymia is a rare paroxysmal movement disorder, with childhood or adolescent onset, characterized by paroxysmal choreiform, dystonic, and myoclonic movements involving the limbs (mostly distal upper limbs), neck and/or face, which can progressively increase in both frequency and severity until they become nearly constant. Patients may also present with delayed motor milestones, perioral and periorbital dyskinesias, dysarthria, hypotonia, and weakness.	Finding site	True	Facial nerve structure	Inferred relationship	Some	2
A very rare congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder characterised by unilateral or bilateral non progressive congenital facial palsy (VII cranial nerve) with impairments of ocular abduction (VI cranial nerve). It can also be associated with other cranial nerves palsies, orofacial anomalies and limb defects.	Finding site	True	Facial nerve structure	Inferred relationship	Some	3
Isolated hereditary congenital facial paralysis (IHCFP) is an extremely rare neurological disorder presumed to result from maldevelopment of the facial nucleus and/or cranial nerve and has been reported in fewer than 10 families to date. It manifests as non-progressive, isolated, unilateral or bilateral, symmetrical or asymmetrical facial palsy. Involvement of the branches of the facial nerve can be unequal.
