MedlinePlus Genetics : ⁴³ 2q37 deletion syndrome is a condition that can affect many parts of the body. Most babies with 2q37 deletion syndrome are born with weak muscle tone (hypotonia), which usually improves with age. Other neurological abnormalities that are common in affected individuals include mild to severe intellectual disability; delayed development of motor skills, such as sitting and walking; and behavioral problems. About 25 percent of people with this condition have autism spectrum disorder, a developmental condition that affects communication and social interaction.Unusual physical features are also common in people with 2q37 deletion syndrome. About half of affected individuals have unusually short fingers and toes (brachydactyly), often with abnormally short fourth toes that may overlap the other toes. Additional features of this condition may include short stature, obesity, or sparse hair. Many people with 2q37 deletion syndrome have characteristic facial features that can include a prominent forehead, a low frontal hairline, thin eyelids, skin folds covering the inner corner of the eyes (epicanthal folds), outside corners of the eyes that point upward (upslanting palpebral fissures), a small nose, a small mouth with thin lips, a smooth space between the upper lip and nose (smooth philtrum), prominent cheekbones, a large chin, and minor ear abnormalities.Other features of 2q37 deletion syndrome can include seizures and an inflammatory skin disorder called eczema. Some affected individuals have malformations of the brain, heart, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, or genitalia. A few people with 2q37 deletion syndrome develop a rare form of kidney cancer called Wilms tumor.

MalaCards based summary : Chromosome 2q37 Deletion Syndrome, also known as albright hereditary osteodystrophy-like syndrome, is related to brachydactyly and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. An important gene associated with Chromosome 2q37 Deletion Syndrome is HDAC4 (Histone Deacetylase 4). Affiliated tissues include eye, kidney and heart, and related phenotypes are intellectual disability and global developmental delay

Disease Ontology : ¹² A chromosomal deletion syndrome characterized by variable features, likely resulting from different sized deletions, including; brachydactyly type E, short stature, mild to moderate intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, and dysmorphic facial features that has material basis in heterozygosity for a contiguous deletion of several genes on chromosome 2q37.2.

GARD : ²⁰ 2q37 deletion syndrome is a chromosome disease that can affect many parts of the body. About 100 cases have been reported worldwide. This condition is characterized by short stature, weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy, mild to severe intellectual disability and developmental delay, autistic behavior, obesity, characteristic facial features, and other physical abnormalities, such as short bones of the hand and of 3-5 fingers, and abnormal lateral curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Other findings include seizures (20%-35%), congenital heart disease, brain abnormalities (hydrocephalus, dilated ventricles), umbilical/inguinal hernia, tracheomalacia, gastrointestinal abnormalities, and kidney malformations. 2q37 deletion syndrome is caused by a deletion of the genetic material from a specific region in the long (q) arm of chromosome 2. Most cases are not inherited. Treatment depends on the symptoms and may require several specialists.

OMIM® : ⁵⁷ Patients with chromosome 2q37 deletion syndrome show highly variable clinical manifestations likely resulting from different deletion sizes and deletions of different genes. Variable clinical features included brachydactyly type E (BDE), affecting the metacarpals and metatarsals (in about 50% of patients), short stature, mild to moderate intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, and dysmorphic facial features. However, many individuals with deletions do not show cognitive deficits (summary by Villavicencio-Lorini et al., 2013, Wheeler et al., 2014, Jean-Marcais et al., 2015).

KEGG : ³⁶ Brachydactyly mental retardation syndrome (BDMR), also known as Albright hereditary osteodystrophy-like syndrome, is a complex disorder characterized by brachydactyly and mental retardation including autism spectrum disorder. It has been confirmed that this disease is associated with some deletions of 2q37. Individuals with BDMR and Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) have very similar features. Mutation of the BDMR-causative gene HDAC4 results in reduced expression of RAI1, whose haploinsufficiency leads to SMS.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷³ Brachydactyly-mental retardation syndrome: A syndrome resembling the physical anomalies found in Albright hereditary osteodystrophy. Common features are mild facial dysmorphism, congenital heart defects, distinct brachydactyly type E, mental retardation, developmental delay, seizures, autism spectrum disorder, and stocky build. Soft tissue ossification is absent, and there are no abnormalities in parathyroid hormone or calcium metabolism.
