Presentation
The valvular system presents with mitral and tricuspid valve stenosis, aortic valve regurgitation, and/or stenosis. The respiratory system can be affected with tracheal and bronchial stenosis. Usually, a significant pectus excavatum is noted. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

Etiology
Etiology Mutations have been found in the ADAMTSL2 and FBN1 genes which appear to induce microfibrillar network disorganization and enhanced TGF-beta signaling. [orpha.net]
Acromicric dysplasia should be considered in the etiology of childhood carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgical outcome of carpal tunnel syndrome is good with early diagnosis and treatment. [healio.com]
