Acrocallosal syndrome (also known as ACLS) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by corpus callosum agenesis, polydactyly, multiple dysmorphic features, motor and mental retardation, and other symptoms.[1] The syndrome was first described by Albert Schinzel in 1979.[2]

It is associated with GLI3.[3]
