A rare congenital disorder in which congenital central hypoventilation syndrome occurs concurrently with Hirschsprung disease. Intestinal aganglionosis is more extensive, and the gender ratio is 1:1, unlike in classical Hirschsprung disease. Mutations in the PHOX2B gene are found in a significant number of patients with Haddad syndrome. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare congenital disorder of bone resorption characterized by generalized skeletal densification. Bone marrow failure, fractures and visual impairment are the classical features of the disease, which begins in early infancy or in fetal life. It results from the failure of osteoclasts to resorb immature bone. This leads to abnormal bone marrow cavity formation and to the clinical signs and symptoms of bone marrow failure. It is accompanied by hepatosplenomegaly due to compensatory extramedullary hematopoiesis. The disease is heterogeneous. Over 50% of cases are due to mutations in the TCIRG1 gene and another 10% are due to mutations in the CLCN7 gene. A small number of patients have been described with mutations in the OSTM1 gene. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

A rare disease with characteristics of holoprosencephaly and ectrodactyly. Holoprosencephaly occurs during early fetal development with failure of the brain to divide into the left and right hemisphere. In the most severe forms of holoprosencephaly, the brain does not divide at all. These affected individuals have cyclopia and proboscis located above the eye. Most babies with severe holoprosencephaly die before birth or soon after. Other manifestations include malfunctioning pituitary, seizures, feeding difficulties, developmental delay and problems regulating body temperature and sleep pattern. Some affected individuals have distinctive facial features, including hypertelorism, hypotelorism, cleft lip, cleft palate. Can be caused by mutations in the FGFR1 gene. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disease with characteristics of slowly progressive and relatively pure ataxia described in 6 patients from one Australian family to date. The disease presents with oculomotor dysfunction, moderate dysarthria, and ataxia that progresses slowly and eventually leads to mobility impairment. Some patients have also reported mild hyperreflexia in the lower limbs. Rare manifestations include gaze-evoked nystagmus and dystonia. The causal gene has not yet been identified but it has been linked to chromosome 4q34.3-q35.1. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disease with manifestations of slowly progressive ataxia, dysarthria and nystagmus. The disease has been reported in more than twenty families from Europe, the United States, and Australia. Onset is usually in early adulthood while symptomatic disease onset may be from 10 to 70 years. In addition to cerebellar signs, hyperreflexia and decreased vibration sense are frequently observed. Caused by missense mutations in the PRKCG gene (19q13.4) encoding protein kinase C gamma (PKC-gamma). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disease with three inherited morbidities; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, hepatic nodular regenerative hyperplasia leading to portal hypertension and thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow hypoplasia. The condition is associated with 100% mortality. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, associated with metabolic acidosis and 5-oxoprolinuria in moderate forms and with progressive neurological symptoms and recurrent bacterial infections in the most severe forms. Several mutations have been identified in the gene encoding glutathione synthetase, localized to chromosome 20q11.2. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder characterized by increased bone density (predominantly diaphyseal) and aregenerative corticosteroid-sensitive anemia. The exact prevalence is unknown. Associated with mutations in the TBXAS1 gene (which encodes thromboxane synthase). Transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

Dysmorphic features include large, protruding, abnormally modeled ears and broad nasal root. Microcephaly and syndactyly of second and third toes have also been recorded. All patients have severe intellectual deficiency. The condition is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder characterized by the combination of autoimmune intestinal disease, epileptic seizures and cerebral calcifications. Celiac disease and epilepsy manifest at a variable age. Celiac disease can present in a typical form with onset in the first 2 years of life. Celiac disease may also present in silent or latent forms, which are characterized in the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms, by dermatitis herpetiformis, dental enamel defects or autoimmune thyroiditis. Epilepsy onset is between infancy and adulthood. Most patients present with occipital epileptic seizures, the course being highly variable, with benign, drug-resistant, or epileptic encephalopathy forms. It is not known if epilepsy and/or cerebral calcifications are a consequence of celiac disease. This syndrome is associated with the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder defined by generalized osteosclerosis with periosteal bone formation, characteristic facial dysmorphism, brain abnormalities including intracerebral calcifications, and neonatal lethal course. Mutations in the FAM20C gene have a causative role in lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia. The condition is transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder leading to a deficiency of complex I of the respiratory chain with characteristics of neurological dysfunction, hepatic failure and cardiomyopathy. Caused by a mutation in the ACAD9 gene (3q21.3) that encodes the protein ACAD9. This protein has only relatively recently been described but is quite widely expressed in tissues and has activity as an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase with overlapping substrate specificity with very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD). It also acts an assembly factor for complex I of the respiratory chain and therefore has a vital role in the production of a functioning mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

Caused by homozygous mutation in the BCKDK gene on chromosome 16p11. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder of galactose metabolism characterized by persistent congenital galactosemia due to deficiency of the enzyme galactose mutarotase. Patients may present bilateral cataract, while gastrointestinal symptoms or severe liver dysfunction are absent. The natural history of the disease is unknown. Severe complications, such as neurological symptoms, have not been reported under early treatment with a galactose-restricted diet. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder of iron metabolism and transport characterized by elevated serum ferritin levels, increased serum iron, increased transferrin saturation and heavy iron deposition in hepatocytes. Iron deposition has also been indicated in heart and bone marrow, while hematological examination of peripheral blood shows no abnormalities. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare disorder of ketone body transport characterized by recurrent episodes of ketoacidosis provoked by fasting or infections in the first years of life. The episodes are typically preceded by poor feeding and vomiting and are associated with dehydration, in severe cases also with decreased consciousness and insufficient respiratory drive.
