Eng-Strom syndrome

Eng-Strom syndrome is a rare condition that affects growth and joint movement. It is defined by intrauterine growth retardation, meaning that growth in the womb is slower than expected, and by intermittent locking of the finger joints. These features mean that people with this condition might experience both growth challenges and occasional difficulties with moving their fingers. The syndrome has been noted in just two individuals, a mother and her daughter, which shows that it is very rare. The mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant, meaning that the condition can be passed from one generation to the next. Information about the number of cases and detailed clinical features is currently limited for this condition.

People with Eng-Strom syndrome may show signs such as intrauterine growth retardation and proportionate short stature after birth. A notable symptom is the intermittent locking of the finger joints, which can limit finger movement temporarily.

The cause of Eng-Strom syndrome is linked to its autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. This means that the syndrome can be passed from an affected parent to their child. No specific genes have been identified for this condition based on the available information.
