Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Waardenburg Syndrome

    rare, autosomal dominant disease with variable penetrance and several known clinical types. characteristics may include depigmentation of the hair and skin, congenital deafness, heterochromia iridis, medial eyebrow hyperplasia, hypertrophy of the nasal root, and especially dystopia canthorum. the underlying cause may be defective development of the neural crest (neurocristopathy). waardenburg's syndrome may be closely related to piebaldism. klein-waardenburg syndrome refers to a disorder that also includes upper limb abnormalities.
  • Acrocephalosyndactyly

    a genetic disorder characterized by craniosynostosis and fusion of the fingers and toes.
  • TWIST1 Gene|TWIST1|TWIST1|Twist Homolog 1 (Acrocephalosyndactyly 3; Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome) (Drosophila) Gene

    this gene plays a role in regulation of transcription and the inhibition of apoptosis. it is also involved in the control of morphogenesis during embryonic development.
  • TWIST1 wt Allele|ACS3|BPES2|BPES3|SCS|TWIST|Twist Homolog 1 (Acrocephalosyndactyly 3; Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome) (Drosophila) wt Allele

    human twist1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p13.3 and is approximately 16 kb in length. this allele, which encodes twist-related protein 1, plays a role in the regulation of both transcription and cell lineage determination. mutations in the gene are associated with saethre-chotzen, robinow-sorauf, and baller-gerold syndromes.
  • Twist-Related Protein 1|Acrocephalosyndactyly 3 Protein|Class A Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Protein 38|H-Twist|TWIST|TWIST1|TWIST1 Protein|Twist Homolog|Twist Homolog 1|Twist Related Protein 1|bHLHa38

    twist-related protein 1 (202 aa, ~21 kda) is encoded by the human twist1 gene. this protein plays a role in the negative regulation of both transcription and myogenesis.
  • Type I Acrocephalosyndactyly|Acrocephalosyndactyly Type I|Apert Syndrome

    an autosomal dominant inherited type of acrocephalosyndactyly caused by mutations in the fgfr2 gene. it is characterized by early closure of the sutures between the skull bones, bulging eyes, low-set ears, fusion of the second, third, and forth fingers, and fusion of the toes.
  • Type III Acrocephalosyndactyly|Acrocephalosyndactyly Type III|Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome|Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome

    a rare autosomal dominant syndrome caused by mutations in the twist1 gene. it is characterized by premature closure of skull bones resulting in abnormally shaped head, high forehead, hypertelorism, and facial asymmetry. it may be associated with fusion of certain fingers or toes.
  • Type V Acrocephalosyndactyly|Acrocephalosyndactyly Type V|Noack Syndrome|Pfeiffer Syndrome

    an autosomal dominant inherited type of acrocephalosyndactyly caused by mutations in the fgfr1 or fgfr2 genes. it is characterized by early closure of the sutures between the skull bones, bulging and wide-set eyes, broad thumbs, big toes, and partial syndactyly in the hands and toes.
  • Escobar Syndrome

    a rare congenital disorder, this is the non-lethal variant of multiple pterygium syndrome, characterized by orthopedic and craniofacial abnormalities, pterygium and akinethesia. the majority of cases are autosomal dominant.

Present on Admission (POA)

Q87.2 is exempt from POA reporting - The Present on Admission (POA) indicator is used for diagnosis codes included in claims involving inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals. POA indicators must be reported to CMS on each claim to facilitate the grouping of diagnoses codes into the proper Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). CMS publishes a listing of specific diagnosis codes that are exempt from the POA reporting requirement. Review other POA exempt codes here.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
