This article discusses monozygotic twin patients with Van der Woude syndrome, the most common form of syndromic cleft lip and palate, who have concordant manifestations. The syndrome has an autosomal dominant hereditary pattern with variable expressivity and a high degree of penetrance with clinical features, including lower lip sinuses with a cleft lip, cleft palate, or both. Some mutations ha...

Aim: To review the causes, symptoms, treatment, prevalence and diagnosis of VanDerWoude Syndrome. Objective : This review aims at analysing the genetic defects and facts about this rare disease in human population. Background : VanDerWoude syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by a cleft lip or cleft palate, distinctive pits of the lower lips, or both. It is the most common s...

Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome or chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a variable spectrum of clinical findings. Classical EVC syndrome comprises a tetrad of clinical manifestations of chondrodystrophy, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cardiac defects. In several case reports, dysplasia involving other organs has also been identified. Hemat...

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia or mesoectodermal dysplasia; a rare genetic disorder of the skeletal dysplasia. 'Six-fingered dwarfism' (digital integer deficiency) was an alternative designation used for this condition when it was being studied in the Amish. It is characterized by short-limb dwarfism, polydactyly, malformation of the bones of the wrist, dys...

In boys precocious puberty is defined as the development of secondary sexual characters before 9 year of age. In girls, the development of breasts (thelarche) before 7.5 year, the development of pubic hairs (pubarche) before 8.5 year or menarche before the age of 9.5 year is considered precocious [1]. Hypothyroidism is usually associated with delayed puberty and rarely with precocious puberty [...
