Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is an autosomal recessive form of popliteal pterygium syndrome. It was first described by Dr. Christos Bartsocas.
Symptoms
Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a very rare disease characterized by congenital craniofacial anomalies, popliteal webbing, and genitourinary and musculoskeletal anomalies.
Causations
Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is caused by genetic mutations. These can be hereditary, when parents pass them down to their children, or they may occur randomly. Genetic mutations may also result from viruses, environmental factors, e.g. UV radiation from sunlight exposure, or a combination of these factors.
