Occipital horn syndrome (OHS; MIM 304150) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7A gene. OHS, formerly known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome IX, is characterized by occipital exostoses or ‘bony horns’ flanking both sides of the foramen magnum, skin laxity, easy bruisability, hyperextensible joints, bladder diverticula, ureteral obstruction, chronic diarrhea, head and face abnormalities, wormian bones and coarse hair.read more
