LEOPARD syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease, which is characterized with cutaneous pigmented patches, electrocardiographic changes, ocular hypertelorism, retarded growth, pulmonic stenosis, genital abnormalities and congenital deafness. The gene of this disease have high penetrance but expression is varied and incomplete forms may be seen. We report a 23 year-old woman wi...

A case of ring D13 chromosome, confirmed by trypsin banding, is described. Reviewing 21 cases from published reports, the most common features of this syndrome are microcephaly and associated mental retardation, poor uterine growth, deformed auricles, hypertelorism, epicanthus, broad nasal bridge, and genital defects in males.

A 6 month old Turkish boy with the acrocallosal syndrome is reported. The patient, born to consanguineous, healthy parents, presented with macrocephaly, a prominent forehead, hypertelorism, polydactyly of the fingers and toes, severe motor and mental retardation, hypotonia, and absence of the corpus callosum. The mode of inheritance is discussed and our case is compared with previously reported...

Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, with an autosomal dominant inheritance and consisting of a triad of polysyndactyly, macrocephaly and hypertelorism. Crossed polydactyly is a finding characteristically associated with this syndrome. We report a one and half year old male child who presented with classic clinical features and family history diagnostic of the above ...

Duplication of the pituitary gland is a rare malformation. The authors describe a patient with features of the median cleft face syndrome (hypertelorism, V-shaped hairline, and developmental delay) who exhibited duplication of the pituitary gland and diffuse thickening of the hypothalamus (hypothalamic hamartoma) as shown by MR. The embryology of the developing pituitary gland and pathogenesis ...

•Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWMS) is caused by actin gene mutations.•Key features of BWMS are ptosis, hypertelorism, iris colobomata, and mental retardation.•Generalized epilepsy is seen in half of those with BWMS.•Seizures in BWMS can be absence, myoclonic, tonic, or tonic-clonic.
