The following summary is from Orphanet , a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 1234 Definition Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited , popliteal pterygium syndrome (see this term) characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly , a typical face with short palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplastic nose, filiform bands between the jaws and facial clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital abnormalities, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails). It is often fatal in the neonatal period, but patients living until childhood have been reported. Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.
MalaCards based summary :
Bartsocas-Papas Syndrome, also known as
popliteal pterygium syndrome lethal type, is related to
chromosome 2q35 duplication syndrome and
cleft lip. An important gene associated with Bartsocas-Papas Syndrome is
RIPK4 (Receptor Interacting Serine/Threonine Kinase 4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are
NF-kappaB Signaling and
Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation Pathways and Lineage-specific Markers. Affiliated tissues include
bone,
skin and
eye, and related phenotypes are
finger syndactyly and
synostosis of joints
OMIM :
56
Bartsocas-Papas syndrome (lethal popliteal pterygium syndrome) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple popliteal pterygia, ankyloblepharon, filiform bands between the jaws, cleft lip and palate, and syndactyly. Early lethality is common, although survival into childhood and beyond has been reported (summary by Mitchell et al., 2012).
A less severe form of popliteal pterygium syndrome (119500) is caused by mutation in the IRF6 gene (607199).

Lethal-type popliteal pterygium syndrome (LPPS), described as an autosomal-recessive form of popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) and also known as Bartsocas-Papas syndrome (BPS), is characterized by a more severe phenotype than that associated with the autosomal-dominant form. LPPS is characterised by multiple popliteal pterygia, cutaneous syndactyly, lack of nails, ankyloblepharon, filiform bands between the jaws, hypoplastic external genitalia, cleft lip and/or palate, and fetal or neonatal lethality, although, in the latter case, survival into childhood and beyond has been reported. It has been shown that recessive mutations in RIPK4 cause LPPS.

Bartsocas-Papas syndrome: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple popliteal pterygia leading to severe arthrogryposis, ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum, filiform bands between the jaws, synostosis of the carpal/tarsal and phalangeal bones in the hands and feet, digital hypoplasia/aplasia, complete soft-tissue syndactyly, lack of nails, lack of scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, blepharophimosis, cleft lip and/or palate, and hypoplastic external genitalia. Early lethality is common, although survival into childhood and beyond has been reported.
