Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited, popliteal pterygium syndrome (see this term) characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly, a typical face with short palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplastic nose, filiform bands between
the jaws and facial
clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital abnormalities, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent
hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails). It is often fatal
in the neonatal period, but patients living
until childhood have been reported.

I'm glad I only have a hip condition. Dealing with this shit would be like torture. I mean, I'm gonna have to get a double hip replacement in my 50's, maybe earlier, which is a guarantee, had many doctors appointments. But that doesn't come close to this shit. Kids don't even get to live their lives right, if they live at all.
