Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome: a case report.

چکیده
Cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome is a genetic disorder with a characteristic facies, abnormal skin and hair, mental retardation and congenital heart disease. It may be confused with Noonan's syndrome, which has a familial pattern and does not present hyperkeratotic skin lesions and abnormal hair, and there are few cases reported in the literature. We describe the first case of typical cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome observed in Brazil.

PTPN11 mutation manifesting as LEOPARD syndrome associated with hypertrophic plexi and neuropathic pain
BACKGROUND LEOPARD syndrome (LS) belongs to the family of neuro-cardio-facio-cutaneous syndromes, which include Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1), Noonan syndrome, Costello Syndrome, cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome, Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair and Legius syndrome. These conditions are caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in the RAS-MAPK cellular pathway. Clinical hete...
متن کاملEpilepsy in RAS/MAPK syndrome: Two cases of cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome with epileptic encephalopathy and a literature review
We report two individual cases of cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome with severe neurological impairment consisting of infantile spasms with hypsarrhythmia and refractory epilepsy with multifocal epileptic paroxysms such as modified hypsarrhythmia. Both cases shared diffuse brain atrophy and severely delayed myelination on neuroimaging. Genetic analysis revealed individual heterozygous mutat...
متن کاملGermline mutations of MEK in cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome are sensitive to MEK and RAF inhibition: implications for therapeutic options.
Cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome is a sporadic developmental disorder characterized by distinctive craniofacial features, heart defects, mental retardation and ectodermal abnormalities. We recently reported missense germline mutations in the genes MEK1 and MEK2 in patients with CFC. These mutations, including F53S and Y130C MEK1, and F57C MEK2, are the first naturally occurring mutations t...
متن کاملNext Generation Sequencing Approach in a Prenatal Case of Cardio-Facio-Cutaneus Syndrome
Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS) belongs to a group of developmental disorders due to defects in the Ras/Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (RAS/MAPK) signaling pathway named RASophaties. While postnatal presentation of these disorders is well known, the prenatal and neonatal characteristics are less recognized. Noonan syndrome, Costello syndrome, and CFCS diagnosis should be considered in pr...
متن کاملOculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome with craniosynostosis, temporal hypertrichosis, and deafness.
We report the case of a 7-month-old girl with atypical oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome (OFCD). A novel de novo pathogenic mutation in the BCL6 interacting co-repressor gene (BCOR) (c.4540C>T; p.Arg1514*), was identified on the X chromosome. This case expands the phenotype of OFCD as it is the first report of a case presenting with craniosynostois, temporal hypertrichosis, supraorbital groovi...
