RAPADILINO syndrome
RAPADILINO syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by:[1]
- RA: radial ray defect
- PA: patellar aplasia, arched or cleft palate
- DI: diarrhea, dislocated joints
- LI: little (short stature), limb malformation
- NO: slender nose, normal intelligence

| Rapadilino syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. | |
| Specialty | Medical genetics  |
It is more prevalent in Finland than elsewhere in the world. It has been associated with the gene RECQL4.[2] This is also associated with Rothmund–Thomson syndrome[3] and Baller–Gerold syndrome.[4]
