	Aarskog syndrome: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders
		Aarskog syndrome is an inherited disorder that causes a distinctive appearance of the face, skeleton, hands and feet, and genitals.
		Aarskog syndrome is among the genetic disorders with distinctive patterns of physical findings and is confused with few others.
		Aarskog syndrome is caused by mutations in the FGD1 gene, located on the short arm of the X chromosome (Xp11.2).

	Aarskog Syndrome
		Aarskog syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by characteristic facial, skeletal, and genital abnormalities.
		Approximately 50 percent of individuals with Aarskog syndrome have spinal abnormalities such as incomplete closure of the bones of the spinal column (spina bifida occulta), fusion of the upper bones of the spinal column (cervical vertebrae), and underdevelopment of the “peg-like” projection of the second cervical vertebra (odontoid hypoplasia).
		Aarskog syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait.

		Aarskog syndrome is a rare inherited disorder characterized by short height, muscular and skeletal irregularities, and problems in the genital area.
		Aarskog syndrome is an X-linked disorder (the gene responsible for this disorder is found on the X chromosome), therefore it is more common in males.
		Aarskog is a recessive disorder (meaning that both of the parents must pass along the gene to the child) caused by mutations in a gene called FGDY1, which is found on the X chromosome.
