Ulnar–mammary syndrome or Schinzel syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by nipple and breast hypoplasia or aplasia. Features of UMS can be mild to severe and can vary significantly from person to person, even within the same family. The main features of UMS include upper limb defects (including abnormal or incomplete development of the fingers and forearm), underdevelopment of the apocrine and mammary glands (leading to absent breast development and the inability to produce breast milk), and various genital abnormalities. Other signs and symptoms may include hormonal deficiencies, delayed puberty (particularly in males), dental problems and obesity. People with UMS may have distinct facial features, including a wide face tapering to a prominent chin, and a broad nose. Genetics
It has been associated with TBX3. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 12 (12q24.21).Another gene that has been associated with this condition is SYNM. This gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 15 (15q26.3). See also

Transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC) is a slowly developing anemia of early childhood characterized by gradual onset of pallor. Signs and symptoms
Individuals with TEC have a median age of presentation of 18–26 months; however, the disorder may occur in infants younger than 6 months and in children as old as age 10 years. Because of the gradual onset of the anemia, children are often healthier than expected from their low hemoglobin levels. Cause
The cause of TEC is unknown, but it thought to be triggered by a viral infection. While rare cases have been attributed to infection with Parvovirus B19, the majority of cases are not related to Parvovirus infection. This is in contrast to transient aplastic crisis, seen in patients with hemoglobinopathies such as sickle cell disease, which is usually caused by Parvovirus infection. Diagnosis
Children typically present with a moderate normocytic anemia (usual range: Hemoglobin 5-8 g/dL) and reticulocytopenia. Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is usually normal for age. Hemoglobin F levels are also typically normal. Prognosis
Most patients recover completely within 1–2 months. However many reported cases have lasted 18–24 months and longer. References
