Two brothers who had oto-palato-digital syndrome type 1 with Pierre Robin sequence

Auditory Functions In Oto-Palato-Digital Syndrome

The oto-palato-digital (OPD) syndrome is a rare X linked disorder characterized by generalized skeletal dysplasia. A case with major features of mild conductive hearing loss, with hyperteleorism, cleft soft palate, hand and foot abnormalities is presented. The evaluation of the auditory functions of case was performed by objective and subjective hearing tests with radiological findings of tempo...

Extended phenotypes in a boy and his mother with oto-palato-digital-syndrome type II

We describe additional phenotypic features in a boy and his mother. Both manifested the phenotypic/genotypic correlation of oto-palato-digital syndrome type II. The mother's radiographs showed wormian bones of the skull, and paranasal bossing, her feet showed bilateral fusion of the cuboid with the lateral cuneiform bone with subsequent development of metatarsus varus associated with dysplastic...

سندرم پیرروبین ( THE PIERRE ROBIN SYNDROME )

BMPR1B mutation causes Pierre Robin sequence

BACKGROUND We investigated a large family with Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). AIM OF THE STUDY This study aims to determine the genetic cause of PRS. RESULTS The reciprocal translocation t(4;6)(q22;p21) was identified to be segregated with PRS in a three-generation family. Whole-genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing successfully detected breakpoints in the intragenic regions of BMRP1B and G...

Stickler syndrome in Pierre-Robin sequence prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis and postnatal therapy: two cases report.

The Pierre-Robin Syndrome (PRS) is a rare congenital abnormality, with an approximately 1/30,000 estimated rate, characterized by the presence of the combination of mandibular hypoplasia (micrognathia or small jaw), glossoptosis (retrusion of the tongue into the pharyngeal airway) and, often, a posterior cleft of the secondary palate. It may be an isolated occurrence or part of a more complex s...
