A very rare genetic malformation syndrome with characteristics of upper limb anomalies (radial ray defects, carpal bone fusion), extraocular motor disturbances and congenital bilateral non-progressive mixed hearing loss. Prevalence is not known. To date, four affected families from Venezuela, Italy, Hungary, and Turkey (discordant monozygotic twins) have been described. The syndrome has been linked to mutations in the SALL4 gene (20q13.2) encoding a transcription factor. Inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
