چکیده
No case of complete monosomy for a human autosome has as yet been reported. Examples of the trisomic condition which is produced by the same mechanism of non-disjunction are, however, relatively frequent. It must be assumed, therefore, that the monosomic state is less viable than the trisomic. Partial monosomic conditions have been described, some of which are related to a definite syndrome spectrum, but even these are rare in the population. The most authenticated case of partial monosomy was that first described by Lejeune, Lafourcade, Berger, Vialatte, Boeswillwald, Seringe, and Turpin (1963) and termed 'cri-du-chat' because of the peculiar cat-like cry associated with the condition: 61 cases have now been observed (Lejeune, Lafourcade, Berger, and Rethore, 1966b). The chromosome constitution is characterized by a partial deletion of the short arm of one of the No. 5 pair, later confirmed by German, Lejeune, Macintyre, and de Grouchy (1964) using 3Hthymidine autoradiography. Abnormalities associated with deletions of the short arm of chromosome No. 4 have also been reported by Hirschhorn, Cooper, and Firschein (1965), Wolf, Porsch, Baitsch, and Reinwein (1965a), Wolf, Reinwein, Porsch, Schroter, and Baitsch (1965b), and Leao, Neu, and Gardner (1966); none, however, show a common clinical syndrome (Table). The most common partial monosomy, apart from the cri-du-chat, is that involving the deletion of the short arms of chromosome 18 (de Grouchy, Lamy, Thieffry, Arthuis, and Salmon, 1963). The cases so far reported have been summarized by Nitowsky, Sindhvananda, Konigsberg, and Weinberg (1966). Apart from the two cases of Cyclops reported by Faint and Lewis (1964) and Nitowsky et al., no syndrome could be found. Partial deletion of the long arm of this chromosome seems less frequent and three cases have been described (de Grouchy, Royer, Salmon, and Lamy, 1964; Lejeune, Berger,

A Case Report: Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis
Introduction: Nager syndrome is a malformation resulting from problems in the development of the first and second branchial arches and limb buds. The cause of the abnormal development of the pharyngeal arches in Nager syndrome is unknown. It is also unclear why affected individuals have bone abnormalities in their arms and legs. Nager syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive inherita...

Background: VACTERL association is usually a sporadic disorder, the possible etiologies of which have been proposed as familial as well as multiple genetic and environmental factors. VACTERL association usually consists of at least three of the core features of vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. Vertebral anomali...

متن کاملTotal Ankylosis of the Upper Left Limb: A Case of Progressive Osseous Heteroplasia
Progressive osseous heteroplasia is a rare inherited disease that begins with skin ossification and proceeds into the deeper connective tissues. The disease should be distinguished from other genetic disorders of heterotopic ossification including fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). We report a case of progressive osseous heteroplasia in a...
