(Hypertelorism-Hypospadias Syndrome; Opitz Syndrome)

General: X-linked inheritance possible; differentiated from G syndrome by facial features and onset in late childhood (see G Syndrome.) This disorder is compatible with normal intelligence and life span. The abnormal gene may be located in the duplicated region 5p13-p12.
Ocular: Epicanthal folds; strabismus; blepharophimosis; telecanthus; widely spaced eyebrows.
Clinical: High nasal bridge; hypospadias; cryptorchidism; cleft palate and lip; urinary malformations; mental retardation; osteochondritis dissecans; congenital heart defects; upper urinary tract anomalies.
