NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵⁴ The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.Orpha Number: 1517Disease definitionCantu syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by congenital hypertrichosis, osteochondrodysplasia, cardiomegaly, and dysmorphism.EpidemiologyTo date, fewer than 30 cases have been reported.Clinical descriptionDysmorphic features include macrocephaly and a coarse facial appearance with thick eyebrows, prominent supraorbital ridges, broad nasal bridge, anteverted nares, long and large philtrum, prominent mouth with full lips and macroglossia. Affected individuals have hypertrichosis with thick scalp hair extending onto the forehead and generalized increased body hair. Cardiomegaly is found in the majority of patients and pericardial effusions have been present occasionally. Additional findings in most patients included thickened calvarium, broad ribs and metaphyseal widening of long bones with enlarged medullary canals. Mild intellectual deficiency has been described in several patients.EtiologyMost cases appear to be sporadic but a few familial cases, with predominantly autosomal dominant inheritance, have been reported.Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.

MalaCards based summary : Cantu Syndrome, also known as hypertrichotic osteochondrodysplasia, is related to hypertrichosis and cantú syndrome and related disorders. An important gene associated with Cantu Syndrome is ABCC9 (ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 9), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Transmission across Chemical Synapses and Cardiac conduction. Affiliated tissues include bone and heart, and related phenotypes are coarse facial features and thick vermilion border

Disease Ontology : ¹² An osteochondrodysplasia characterized by congenital hypertrichosis, neonatal macrosomia, and cardiomegaly.

Genetics Home Reference : ²⁶ Cantú syndrome is a rare condition characterized by excess hair growth (hypertrichosis), a distinctive facial appearance, heart defects, and several other abnormalities. The features of the disorder vary among affected individuals.

OMIM : ⁵⁸ Cantu syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by congenital hypertrichosis, neonatal macrosomia, a distinct osteochondrodysplasia, and cardiomegaly. The hypertrichosis leads to thick scalp hair which extends onto the forehead and to a general increase in body hair. Some features are suggestive of a storage disorder, including macrocephaly and coarse facial features, with a broad nasal bridge, epicanthal folds, wide mouth, and full lips. About half of affected individuals are macrosomic and edematous at birth, whereas in childhood they usually have a muscular appearance with little subcutaneous fat. Thickened calvarium, narrow thorax, wide ribs, flattened or ovoid vertebral bodies, coxa valga, osteopenia, enlarged medullary canals, and metaphyseal widening of long bones have been reported. Cardiac manifestations such as patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary hypertension, and pericardial effusions are present in approximately 80% of cases. Motor development is usually delayed due to hypotonia. Most patients have a mild speech delay, and a small percentage have learning difficulties or intellectual disability (summary by van Bon et al., 2012). (239850)
