A rare multiple congenital anomalies syndrome with cardiac involvement as a major feature characterized by QT prolongation, congenital heart defects, syndactyly, facial dysmorphism and neurodevelopmental features. There are three clinical phenotypes recognized, the classical types that present with a prolonged QT interval and either with (TS1) or without (TS2) cutaneous syndactyly of fingers and toes. The atypical form (ATS) causes multi-system health concerns but not necessarily with prolonged QT.
