Abstract excerpt
Otopalatodigital syndrome type 1 (OPD1) is an X-linked semidominant condition characterized by malformations of the skeleton, auditory apparatus, and palate. Previous studies have established linkage to a 16-cM region of Xq27-q28. A proposed allelic variant of OPD1, termed "OPD2," is associated with a more severe, frequently lethal phenotype with visceral and brain anomalies in addition to skeletal, auditory, and...
