Opitz G/BBB syndrome
Background
Opitz G/BBB syndrome; G syndrome; Hypertelorism-Hypospadias syndrome; Opitz-Frias syndrome
Professor John Opitz, an eminent North American geneticist, and colleagues first drew attention to these conditions in 1969 and subsequently. Professor Opitz did not wish to follow the practice of naming syndromes after the medical authors who report the condition, so he suggested conditions are represented by the initials of the names of families who first present. However, with an increasing number of newly reported syndromes, this system fell out of favour.
