A complex, heritable malformation syndrome of variable phenotype, mainly characterised by orofacial, genital, and musculoskeletal abnormalities, often associated with mental retardation. Typical findings include fistulas of the lower lip and creased skin on the back of the leg. Inheritance is probably autosomal dominant with variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance.
Early descriptions by Trélat in 1869 and Karl Basch (1859-1913) in 1891. The syndrome was more exactly defined by, among others, Robert J. Gorlin.
