Single Nostril - A New Finding in the Phenotypic Spectrum of Schinzel Giedion Syndrome

The Schinzel-Giedion syndrome.

Schinzel-Giedion midface retraction syndrome

Other names: Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. Note: The use of the long form of the name, SchinzelGiedion midface retraction syndrome, is preferred to prevent confusion with Schinzel ulnar-mammary syndrome, a completely unrelated and clinically nonoverlapping condition also described by Dr Schinzel. Inheritance: Schinzel-Giedion midface retraction syndrome is presumed to be inherited as autosomal rec...

Hydronephrosis in Schinzel-Giedion syndrome: an important clue for the diagnosis.

Schinzel-Giedion syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by coarse facies, midface retraction, hypertrichosis, multiple skeletal anomalies, and cardiac and renal malformations. Craniofacial abnormalities of this syndrome sometimes resemble a storage or metabolic disease. The pathogenesis of the disease remains unknown. The objective of this report was to emphasize the impo...

Schinzel-Giedion syndrome: a case with sacrococcygeal teratoma and cor-triatriatum dexter

Schinzel-Giedion syndrome which is associated with midfacial hypoplasia and coarse dysmorphic features is a multiple congenital malformation syndrome. It is believed that risk of malignancy may be a component of the anomaly. We report herein a case of a 16 months old boy with SGS associated with sacrococcygeal teratoma and cor-triatriatum dexter. Histopathology report of the excised sacrococcyg...

Overlapping SETBP1 gain-of-function mutations in Schinzel-Giedion syndrome and hematologic malignancies

Schinzel-Giedion syndrome (SGS) is a rare developmental disorder characterized by multiple malformations, severe neurological alterations and increased risk of malignancy. SGS is caused by de novo germline mutations clustering to a 12bp hotspot in exon 4 of SETBP1. Mutations in this hotspot disrupt a degron, a signal for the regulation of protein degradation, and lead to the accumulation of SET...
