This website provides information on patients with mutations in the STAG2 (stromal antigen 2) gene, including clinical data, molecular data, management and research options.

The syndrome caused by mutations in the STAG2 gene is a multisystem disorder characterized by
•    Intellectual deficiency
•    Holoprosencephaly
•    Growth retardation
•    Neuropsychiatric behaviors
•    Microcephaly
•    Cleft palate

•    Limb reduction defects
•    Vertebral defects
•    Cardiac defects
