Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type is a rare genetic disorder characterized by facial abnormalities, skeletal malformations, and intellectual disability. It is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein NOG. Symptoms may include a wide-set eyes, a flat nasal bridge, a small lower jaw, and a cleft palate. Other features may include hearing loss, scoliosis, and short stature. Treatment is supportive and may include physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.

The symptoms of Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type can vary from person to person, but some of the most common symptoms include:

-Cleft lip and/or palate
-Abnormalities of the ears, including small, low-set ears
-Widely spaced eyes
-Abnormalities of the hands and feet, including short fingers and toes, and webbing between the fingers and toes
-Delayed development of motor skills
-Delayed development of speech and language
-Intellectual disability
-Hearing loss
-Heart defects
-Kidney abnormalities
-Growth delays

Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein NOG (Noggin). This mutation results in a lack of Noggin protein, which is essential for normal development of the face and limbs. Other causes of Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type may include environmental factors, such as exposure to certain toxins or radiation, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

The treatments for Acrofacial dysostosis, Weyers type vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's symptoms. Generally, treatment focuses on managing the physical and developmental issues associated with the condition. This may include:

• Surgery to correct facial deformities, such as cleft lip and palate

• Orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusion

• Speech therapy to improve communication skills

• Physical therapy to improve mobility and strength

• Occupational therapy to improve daily living skills

• Special education services to help with learning disabilities

• Counseling to help with emotional and social issues

• Genetic counseling to help families understand the condition and its implications
