Definition

Acromial dimples are skin depressions overlying the acromial process of the scapula. They are thought to arise from the entrapment of tissue between a bony structure and the uterine wall. The skin and bone become compressed and tethering results when the pressure is released. They are usually bilateral and are an isolated finding warranting no further investigation (summary by Liu and Nanan, 2008). Acromial dimples occur as a virtually consistent feature of 18q deletion (Insley, 1967). [from OMIM]

•: Disease or Syndrome

ReNU syndrome (RENU), also known as neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia, brain anomalies, distinctive facies, and absent language (NEDHAFA), is characterized by hypotonia, global developmental delay, severely impaired intellectual development with poor or absent speech, delayed walking or inability to walk, feeding difficulties with poor overall growth, seizures (in most), dysmorphic facial features, and brain anomalies, including ventriculomegaly, thin corpus callosum, and progressive white matter loss (Greene et al., 2024; Schot et al., 2024; Chen et al., 2024).
