Splenogonadal fusion-limb defects-micrognathia syndrome

Splenogonadal fusion-limb defects-micrognathia syndrome, also known by its abbreviation, SGFLD syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal fusion of the spleen and the gonad (splenogonadal fusion) alongside limb defects and orofacial anomalies. It is a type of syndromic dysostosis.[2]

Children with this condition typically have abnormal fusion of the spleen and the gonad, amelia (or any kind of severe shortening of a limb), microglossia, cleft palate, bifid uvula, micrognathia. Additional symptoms include cryptorchidism, anal stenosis, anal atresia, pulmonary hypoplasia, and congenital heart defects.[3][4]

This condition is highly fatal, fetuses/children with this condition are more likely to either be stillborn or die in infancy.[5]

This condition is congenital, although an exact inheritance pattern isn't known.[6] OMIM proposes it to be autosomal dominant.[7]

Around 30 cases of SGLD have been described in medical literature.[8] Most of them were male.[9][5][10][11]
