Unique ID: D018980
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018980
Annotation: do not confuse with Williams-Campbell syndrome, a congenital cartilage deficiency
Scope Note: A disorder caused by hemizygous microdeletion of about 28 genes on chromosome 7q11.23, including the ELASTIN gene. Clinical manifestations include SUPRAVALVULAR AORTIC STENOSIS; MENTAL RETARDATION; elfin facies; impaired visuospatial constructive abilities; and transient HYPERCALCEMIA in infancy. The condition affects both sexes, with onset at birth or in early infancy.
