A rare genetic orofacial clefting malformation syndrome with characteristics of severe frontonasal dysplasia with complete cleft palate, facial cleft, extreme microphthalmia and hypertelorism. Frequently associated with eyelid colobomata, sparse or absent eyelashes/eyebrows, wide nasal bridge with hypoplastic alae nasi, low-set, posteriorly rotated ears and caudal appendage in the sacral region. There is evidence the disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the ALX1 gene on chromosome 12q21.
