Anesthetic considerations for a pediatric patient with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome: a case report

Patients with this syndrome are characterized by craniofacial dysgenesis, seizures, growth delay, intellectual disability, and congenital heart disease. Although several cases have been reported, very little information is available on anesthetic management for patients with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrom...

Two sibs with Wolf-Hirschhorn and DiGeorge deletions resulting from an unbalanced chromosome rearrangement, 45,XX/XY, der(4)t(4;22) (p16.3;q11.2) mat,-22.

A mother with apparently balanced translocation between chromosomes 4 and 22 gave birth to two children (sib 1 and twin A) with 45,XX,der(4)t(4;22) (p16.3;q11.2)mat,-22 and 45,XY,der(4)t(4; 22(p16.3;q11.2)mat,-22 karyotypes. The mother was a slow learner and required special education. The imbalance in the sibs arose through a 3:1 malsegregation in the mother. The net result was deletions 4p16....

Paternal origin of the chromosomal deletion resulting in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

DNA samples were obtained from children with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome and their parents to assist with gene mapping studies of 4p16.3 (the region known to contain the Huntington's disease gene). A panel of seven families was studied, using polymorphic DNA markers, to determine the parental origin of the chromosome abnormality resulting in Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. All seven cases were the resul...

The Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome in Fetal Autopsy - A Case Report -

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is one of multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndromes and is caused by partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4, particularly in the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region-1 (WHSCR1) and Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region-2 (WHSCR2), which are located in chromosome 4p16.3. Loss of these regions is indeed the cause of WHS, and...
