The First Korean Case of Beare-Stevenson Syndrome with a Tyr375Cys Mutation in the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 Gene

چکیده
Here we report the first case of a Korean infant with a cloverleaf-shaped craniosynostosis, in which the diagnosis of Beare-Stevenson syndrome was suspected upon observation of the typical morphological features. This infant exhibited craniofacial anomalies, ocular proptosis, cutis gyrata, acanthosis nigricans, prominent umbilical stump, furrowed palms and soles, hypospadia, and sacral skin tag coupled with dermal sinus tract. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the patient also had non-communicating hydrocephalus with Chiari malformation. This is the 8th report of Beare-Stevenson syndrome in the literature, which was confirmed by the detection of a Tyr375Cys mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene.

Familial craniosynostosis, anal anomalies, and porokeratosis: CAP syndrome.
We report on the occurrence of coronal craniosynostosis, anal anomalies, and porokeratosis in two male sibs. A third male sib was phenotypically normal as were the parents. The occurrence of these three clinical features has, to our knowledge, not been reported before. Cutaneous or anal anomalies or both have been reported in a number of syndromes associated with craniosynostosis, including Cro...
متن کاملFibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) Mutation Related Syndromic Craniosynostosis
Craniosynostosis results from the premature fusion of cranial sutures, with an incidence of 1 in 2,100-2,500 live births. The majority of cases are non-syndromic and involve single suture fusion, whereas syndromic cases often involve complex multiple suture fusion. The fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene is perhaps the most extensively studied gene that is mutated in various cranio...

The craniosynostoses, the premature closure of the cranial sutures, are a common heterogeneous group of disorders, affecting about 1 in 2000 children at birth. About 20% have a distinct syndrome defined on clinical and family grounds. The delineation of these syndromes has become more precise with molecular analysis. Mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1, 2, 3 loci have been iden...

Background and Objective: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation, especially in exons 18 to 21, is an important predictor of the response rate of lung adenocarcinoma to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. There are variable reports from Asian and European countries, as well as North America, about the frequency of the EGFR mutation in lung adenocarcinoma, yet molecular s...
