: Maybe: However, the limited information provided are not enough to suggest one. Smith's "Recognizable Patterns of Human Malformation " is a compendium of many such conditions but focuses on more disabling ones. A consultation with a clinical geneticist would be helpful but the issue is likely very personal. You may want to leave it alone.
