Rudiger syndrome
Rudiger syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by the association of severe growth retardation with abnormalities of the extremities, urogenital abnormalities and facial abnormalities.[1] It has been described in a family where an affected brother and sister died as infants.[2] Both autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant inheritance have been suggested with the disorder.[1][3]

The features ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft palate have been described with Rudiger syndrome, giving it the rarely used designation "EEC syndrome".[3] However, this is not to be confused with the formal EEC syndrome associated with chromosome 7.[4]
It was characterized in 1971.[5]
