OMIM : ⁵⁷ Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive ciliopathy classically defined by the triad of encephalocele, polydactyly, and renal and biliary ductal dysplasia. Clinical heterogeneity exists even within families (summary by Shaheen et al., 2011). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Meckel syndrome, see MKS1 (249000). (613885)

MalaCards based summary : Meckel Syndrome, Type 8, also known as meckel syndrome 8, is related to short-rib thoracic dysplasia 6 with or without polydactyly and meckel syndrome, type 1. An important gene associated with Meckel Syndrome, Type 8 is TCTN2 (Tectonic Family Member 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Regulation of PLK1 Activity at G2/M Transition and Organelle biogenesis and maintenance. Affiliated tissues include kidney, and related phenotypes are low-set ears and short neck

Disease Ontology : ¹² A Meckel syndrome that has material basis in an autosomal recessive mutation of TCTN2 on chromosome 12q24.31.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁴ Meckel syndrome 8: A disorder characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia and cysts, and polydactyly.
