Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome
Other names: Athyroidal hypothyroidism-spiky hair-cleft palate syndrome
Bamforth- Lazarus syndrome. An 8 month old infant with a homozygous mutation in the TTF-2 gene locus leading to congenital hypothyroidism. Phenotypic features include, low set ears, extensive cleft palate, hypertelorism, spiky hair and low posterior hairline. (Taken from; A novel loss-of-function mutation in TTF-2 is associated with congenital hypothyroidism, thyroid agenesis and cleft palate; Human Molecular Genetics, 2002, Vol. 11, No. 17.

Bamforth–Lazarus syndrome is a genetic condition that results in thyroid dysgenesis.[1][2] It is due to recessive mutations in forkhead/winged-helix domain transcription factor (FKLH15 or TTF2).[3]It is associated with FOXE1.[4]
