MOMO syndrome was named for the features associated with the syndrome including macrosomia (being larger than expected from birth), obesity, macrocephaly (having a large head size) and ocular (eye) abnormalities. It has also been proposed that mental (intellectual) disability may be used as an identifying feature of the syndrome instead of macrosomia, as macrosomia has not been reported in all affected individuals. 1, record 1, English, - MOMO%20syndrome

Le syndrome MOMO [...] correspond à un acronyme qui reprend les caractéristiques suivantes : macrocéphalie, obésité sévère, macrosomie, anomalies ophtalmologiques (colobome rétinien et nystagmus). Le phénotype associe parfois une incurvation des fémurs en lame de sabre. Le gène et sa localisation chromosomique sont inconnus. 1, record 1, French, - syndrome%20MOMO

The ESA facility MOMO MOrphological transition in transparent MOdel materials is designed to study directional solidification of optically transparent melts. It investigates the effect of gravity on the formation of growth morphologies. 4, record 2, English, - ESA%20facility%20MOMO

The key element of the MOMO experiment assembly is a Bridgman furnace for low temperatures (< 100°C). The furnace generates a temperature gradient over a cylindrical glass ampoule containing the sample. The sample material for the first two flights was a succinonitrile (SCN) based compound, which has solidifying structures similar to those of a metal alloy. The furnace is accommodated on a linear drive, which can be moved over the sample ampoule for directional solidification. An endoscope from the liquid side of the sample provides optical observation of the solid-liquid interface. Recorded images are analysed after the experiment to determine parameters of the solidifying morphological structure. 3, record 2, English, - ESA%20facility%20MOMO
