Definition

Bartsocas-Papas syndrome-2 (BPS2) is a severe form of popliteal pterygium disorder characterized by cutaneous webbing across one or more joints, cleft lip and/or palate, syndactyly, and genital malformations (summary by Leslie et al., 2015). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Small hand
MedGen UID:
108279
Concept ID:
C0575802
Finding
Disproportionately small hand.
Absent distal phalanges
MedGen UID:
396111
Concept ID:
C1861339
Finding
Aplasia (absence) of the distal phalanges.
2-5 finger cutaneous syndactyly
MedGen UID:
870711
Concept ID:
C4025165
Anatomical Abnormality
A soft tissue continuity in the anteroposterior axis between the second to the fifth fingers that extends distally to at least the level of the proximal interphalangeal joints.
Low-set ears
MedGen UID:
65980
Concept ID:
C0239234
Congenital Abnormality
Upper insertion of the ear to the scalp below an imaginary horizontal line drawn between the inner canthi of the eye and extending posteriorly to the ear.
Overfolded helix
MedGen UID:
325239
Concept ID:

Finding
Increased convexity of the occiput (posterior part of the skull).
Wide anterior fontanel
MedGen UID:
400926

Concept ID:
C0392005
Congenital Abnormality
A non-midline cleft of the upper lip on the left and right sides.
Bilateral cleft palate
MedGen UID:

335019
Concept ID:
C1844738
Finding
Presence of a cutaneous membrane (flap) in the armpit.
Antecubital pterygium syndrome
MedGen UID:
401231
Concept ID:
C1867439
Disease or Syndrome
Antecubital pterygium syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a fleshy web extending across the anterior aspect of the cubital fossa, absence of the long head of the triceps, limitation of full elbow extension, and missing skin creases over the terminal interphalangeal joints of the fingers (summary by Wallis et al., 1988).
Popliteal pterygium
MedGen UID:
811750
Concept ID:
C3805420
Finding
A pterygium (or pterygia) occurring in the popliteal region (the back of the knee).
Corneal opacity
MedGen UID:
40485
Concept ID:
C0010038
Finding
A reduction of corneal clarity.
Microphthalmia
MedGen UID:
10033
Concept ID:
C0026010
Congenital Abnormality
Microphthalmia is an eye abnormality that arises before birth. In this condition, one or both eyeballs are abnormally small. In some affected individuals, the eyeball may appear to be completely missing; however, even in these cases some remaining eye tissue is generally present. Such severe microphthalmia should be distinguished from another condition called anophthalmia, in which no eyeball forms at all. However, the terms anophthalmia and severe microphthalmia are often used interchangeably. Microphthalmia may or may not result in significant vision loss.\n\nPeople with microphthalmia may also have a condition called coloboma. Colobomas are missing pieces of tissue in structures that form the eye. They may appear as notches or gaps in the colored part of the eye called the iris; the retina, which is the specialized light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye; the blood vessel layer under the retina called the choroid; or in the optic nerves, which carry information from the eyes to the brain. Colobomas may be present in one or both eyes and, depending on their size and location, can affect a person's vision.\n\nPeople with microphthalmia may also have other eye abnormalities, including clouding of the lens of the eye (cataract) and a narrowed opening of the eye (narrowed palpebral fissure). Additionally, affected individuals may have an abnormality called microcornea, in which the clear front covering of the eye (cornea) is small and abnormally curved.\n\nBetween one-third and one-half of affected individuals have microphthalmia as part of a syndrome that affects other organs and tissues in the body. These forms of the condition are described as syndromic. When microphthalmia occurs by itself, it is described as nonsyndromic or isolated.
