چکیده

The cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome is characterized by cerebral maldevelopment or malfunction or both, costal deficiencies, and micrognathia. Cleft palate and glossoptosis are frequently present and contribute to the common presenting sign, neonatal respiratory distress. Intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation are common. Familial cases are rare and the mode of transmission is uncertain. The deficiencies in the posterior portion of affected ribs are the sine qua non for diagnosis; roentgenographic confirmation is required. Since the first description of this pattern of prenatal growth defect in 1966, 19 patients who fulfill the criteria for diagnosis have been reported. We present three additional cases, one of which includes roentgenographic-pathologic correlations, and summarize the combinations of features present in previously described cases. Pulmonary complications incident to lack of thoracic cage support result in poor prognosis for survival.

Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome: Report of two cases

Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome (CCMS) is a rare syndrome that includes a constellation of mandibular hypoplasia and posterior rib defects as its basic features. Additional features can include hearing loss, tracheal cartilage abnormalities, scoliosis, elbow hypoplasia, and spina bifida. Here we report two cases of CCMS and discuss the reported long-term outcome of the disease.

Disrupted auto-regulation of the spliceosomal gene SNRPB causes cerebro–costo–mandibular syndrome

Elucidating the function of highly conserved regulatory sequences is a significant challenge in genomics today. Certain intragenic highly conserved elements have been associated with regulating levels of core components of the spliceosome and alternative splicing of downstream genes. Here we identify mutations in one such element, a regulatory alternative exon of SNRPB as the cause of cerebro-c...
