== Disorders associated with syndromic facies ==
* [[Pitt–Hopkins syndrome]]
* [[Beta thalassemia]] is associated with distinctive facial features due to ineffective erythropoiesis. The ineffective erythropoiesis causes marrow hyperplasia or expansion and bony changes, including the bones of the face; this causes craniofacial protrusions.<ref name="Taher">{{cite journal |last1=Taher |first1=Ali T. |last2=Musallam |first2=Khaled M. |last3=Cappellini |first3=M.
