Severe achondroplasia-developmental delay-acanthosis nigricans syndrome is characterised by the association of severe achondroplasia with developmental delay and acanthosis nigricans. It has been described in four unrelated individuals. Structural central nervous system anomalies seizures and hearing loss were also reported together with bowing of the clavicle femur tibia and fibula in some cases.
