Orofaciodigital syndrome type III in two sibs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A brother and sister with mental retardation, malformations of the cerebellar vermis, characteristic 'metronome' eye movements, lingual hamartomas, and postaxial polydactyly are described. The clinical overlap with the OFD group of syndromes, in particular OFD III and OFD VI, and Joubert's syndrome is discussed. If OFD III syndrome is to be recognised as a distinct entity, these two cases represent the second and third cases reported.

متن کاملOrofaciodigital syndrome type I in a girl with unilateral tibial pseudarthrosis.
The orofaciodigital syndromes are a group of possibly seven different malformation syndromes including oral, facial, and digital malformations. Type I has X linked dominant inheritance whereas the other types show autosomal recessive inheritance. An exact diagnosis is therefore important for genetic counselling. We here report a girl with orofaciodigital syndrome type I. She had cystic kidney d...
