Feingold syndrome

Feingold syndrome is a rare inherited malformation syndrome. It is also known as oculo-digito-esophageal-duodenal (ODED) syndrome among other names. This condition is mainly characterized by a smaller head size (microcephaly), short stature, and a variety of digital anomalies (affecting the fingers and toes). There are two subtypes of Feingold syndrome: type 1 (FS1) and type 2 (FS2). Type 1 is the most common form and may include gastrointestinal atresia (blockages) and short palpebral fissures (narrow eye openings). Type 2 shows similar features to type 1, but without the gastrointestinal atresia and the short palpebral fissures. This summary is based on published definitions and recognized descriptions.

People with Feingold syndrome can have several common features including microcephaly (a smaller head size), short stature, and various abnormalities in their digits (fingers and toes). In the more common type 1, symptoms may also include issues related to the gastrointestinal tract and differences in the appearance of the eyes. These features can vary in severity among individuals.

Feingold syndrome is an inherited condition. It is passed down in families, although specific genetic details such as the known genes have not been provided in the available information. Inheritance plays a key role in the development of this condition.
