An exceedingly rare autosomal dominant developmental anomaly reported in 1986 in nine individuals among four generations of the same family. The syndrome has clinical characteristics of four-limb postaxial polydactyly and progressive myopia. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1986. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDAH) is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the presence of a variant serum albumin with preferential affinity for thyroxine (T4) in clinically euthyroid individuals. Individuals have consistently elevated total T4 and elevated or normal free T4 values with normal TSH levels. FDAH is the most commonly inherited euthyroid hyperthyroxinemia in Caucasian populations with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 10,000 individuals. The condition does not cause disease since the concentration of free hormone is normal, but affected individuals may be at risk for unnecessary laboratory testing and possibly even inappropriate treatment (summary by Heufelder et al., 1995 and Kragh-Hansen et al., 2017). [from OMIM]

Congenital hypertrichosis lanuginosa is a rare disorder characterized by excessive lanugo hair present at birth covering the entire body surface except the mucosae, palms, and soles (summary by De Raeve and Keymolen, 2011). [from OMIM]

Focal dermal hypoplasia is a multisystem disorder characterized primarily by involvement of the skin, skeletal system, eyes, and face. Skin manifestations present at birth include atrophic and hypoplastic areas of skin; cutis aplasia; fat nodules in the dermis manifesting as soft, yellow-pink cutaneous nodules; and pigmentary changes. Verrucoid papillomas of the skin and mucous membranes may appear later. The nails can be ridged, dysplastic, or hypoplastic; hair can be sparse or absent. Limb malformations include oligo-/syndactyly and split hand/foot. Developmental abnormalities of the eye can include anophthalmia/microphthalmia, iris and chorioretinal coloboma, and lacrimal duct abnormalities. Craniofacial findings can include facial asymmetry, notched alae nasi, cleft lip and palate, and pointed chin. Occasional findings include dental anomalies, abdominal wall defects, diaphragmatic hernia, and renal anomalies. Psychomotor development is usually normal; some individuals have cognitive impairment. [from GeneReviews]

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymph node cancer of germinal center B-cell origin. Hodgkin lymphoma tumors consist of a minority of malignant cells, known as 'Reed-Sternberg' (RS) cells, mixed with reactive lymphocytes and other benign inflammatory cells. A defining feature of RS cells is the presence of 2 nuclei (summary by Salipante et al., 2009). [from OMIM]
