RAPADILINO syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by:[1]

Rapadilino syndrome
Other namesRadial and patellar aplasia, Radial and patellar hypoplasia
Rapadilino syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
SpecialtyMedical genetics 

It is more prevalent in Finland than elsewhere in the world. It has been associated with the gene RECQL4.[2] This is also associated with Rothmund–Thomson syndrome[3] and Baller–Gerold syndrome.[4]
