RAB23-related Carpenter syndrome

RAB23-related Carpenter syndrome is a form of Carpenter syndrome that is caused by a mutation in the RAB23 gene. Carpenter syndrome is part of a group of disorders called acrocephalopolysyndactyly, which affects the development of bones and other tissues. In this particular type of Carpenter syndrome, the mutation in the RAB23 gene interferes with normal developmental processes, which may lead to a range of physical alterations when compared to typical development. The understanding of RAB23-related Carpenter syndrome mainly comes from genetic studies where the mutation in the RAB23 gene was identified as the cause. This discovery helps to classify the condition more specifically and separates it from other forms of Carpenter syndrome. Research is ongoing to further understand the full impact of this gene mutation on overall development, but current knowledge helps in the diagnosis and better classification of the condition.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

RAB23-related Carpenter syndrome is caused by a mutation in the RAB23 gene. Genes carry the instructions for the body, and when a mutation occurs, it may interfere with normal development. This genetic change is considered the main cause of the condition. The results of this mutation can lead to physical differences that are often seen in people with Carpenter syndrome. Although the full range of effects is still being studied, the mutation in the RAB23 gene is the key factor that triggers this form of the condition.
