Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]


Keutel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by abnormal diffuse cartilage calcification, hypoplasia of the mid-face, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, hearing loss, short distal phalanges (tips) of the fingers and mild mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] It was first identified in 1972.[1]

Keutel syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
