Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a multisystem malformation syndrome. There is wide clinical variability in this disorder. This disorder is relatively uncommon and characterised by series of malformations which includes skeletal, craniofacial, gastrointestinal and cardiac malformations. The main clinical feature includes growth retardation, limb abnormalities, mental retardation, developmen...
The molecular mechanisms by which the primordia of the midface grow and fuse to form the primary palate portion of the craniofacial region are not well characterized. This is in spite of the fact that failure of growth and/or fusion of these primordia leads to the most common craniofacial birth defect in humans (i.e. clefts of the lip and/or palate). Bmp4 plays a critical role during early embr...
Of all the model organisms used to study human development, rodents such as mice most accurately reflect human craniofacial development. Collective advances in mouse embryology and mouse genetics continue to shape our understanding of neural crest cell development and by extrapolation the etiology of human congenital head and facial birth defects. The aim of this review is to highlight the cons...
Disruption of distaless homeobox 5 and 6 (Dlx5/6) in mice results in brain, craniofacial, genital, ear and limb defects. In humans, chromosomal aberrations in the DLX5/6 region, some of which do not encompass DLX5/6, are associated with split hand/foot malformation 1 (SHFM1) as well as intellectual disability, craniofacial anomalies and hearing loss, suggesting that the disruption of DLX5/6 reg...
Orofacial clefting is amongst the most common of birth defects, with both genetic and environmental components. Although numerous studies have been undertaken to investigate the complexities of the genetic etiology of this heterogeneous condition, this factor remains incompletely understood. Here, we describe mutations in the HYAL2 gene as a cause of syndromic orofacial clefting. HYAL2, encodin...
Orofacial clefts are the most common malformations of the head and neck. In Africa, orofacial clefts are underascertained, with little or no surveillance system in most parts for clefts and other birth defects. A Nigerian craniofacial anomalies study, NigeriaCRAN, was established in 2006 to support cleft research specifically for epidemiological studies, treatment outcomes, and studies into eti...
Isotretinoin is a retinoid that derivates from vitamin A. It is indicated for recalcitrant nodular acne treatment, but it has been classified as teratogenic. A wide spectrum of birth defects including craniofacial, heart and nervous system malformations have been described associated to prenatal exposure to this drug. We report the case of a newborn with a history of prenatal exposure to isotre...
Cleft lip and palate are the most common craniofacial abnormalities seen worldwide. If left uncorrected, cleft lip can have significant social and psychological consequences for both the child and family. A cleft palate interferes with feeding and speech as a consequence of velo-pharyngeal insufficiency. Clefts are not simply a surgical problem but individuals with clefts or other craniofacial ...
OBJECTIVE To determine and list the variety of the predominant appeal signs leading to referral and their accompanying features found during specialized ultrasound evaluation in foetuses with trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a period of thirty years, 1110 cases of foetal malformations were detected during specialized echographic evaluation. 47 Of these cases were foetuses w...
Orofacial clefts include cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and cleft lip and palate (CLP), which combined represent the largest group of craniofacial malformations in humans with an overall prevalence of one per 1,000 live births. Each of these birth defects shows strong familial aggregation, suggesting a major genetic component to their etiology. Genetic studies of orofacial clefts extend bac...
