A surgical approach to the craniofacial defects of Opitz G/BBB syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Opitz syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which has been well defined; however, the surgical treatment of the anomalies has not been codified. The objective is to review the literature and describe the surgical priorities in the treatment of Opitz syndrome. This report is unique in the fact that it describes a surgical approach to the treatment of the deformities. Better outcomes are achieved with preoperative analysis of the deformities and surgical planning. Simultaneous soft tissues and bony reconstruction with grafts can achieve long lasting results and decrease recurrence rates.

Opitz trigonocephaly C syndrome (OTCS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by craniofacial anomalies, variable intellectual and psychomotor disability, and variable cardiac defects with a high mortality rate. Different patterns of inheritance and genetic heterogeneity are known in this syndrome. Whole exome and genome sequencing of a 19-year-old girl (P7), initially diagnosed with OTCS, re...

X-linked Opitz G/BBB syndrome (XLOS; MIM 300000) is a rare multiple congenital anomaly disorder that is characterized by facial anomalies, laryngeal/tracheal/esophageal defects and genitourinary abnormalities. XLOS is caused by mutations in the MID1 gene which encodes a microtubule-associated RING-Bbox-Coiled-coil (RBCC) protein. We recently found a four-year Korean male patient who was suspect...
متن کاملGoldenhar Syndrome and Pericentric Inversion of Chromosome 9
Oculo-auriculovertebral dysplasia (Goldenhar) is a congenital syndrome. Its phenotype differs from craniofacial anomalies to cardiac, vertebral or central nervous system defects. This syndrome is rare and its etiology is not apparent yet. Pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 is one of the most common structural balanced chromosomal aberrations with its incidences 15% to 25%. Herein we present ...

Three families including five subjects with the G or Opitz-Frias syndrome are added to 23 published cases who had dysphagia; characteristics of the two affected relatives were added to 19 well documented published reports. The data from index cases support the concept of the G syndrome as a constellation of midline defects, which include hypertelorism or telecanthus (89%), oesophageal dysmotili...
