Van der Woude syndrome or lip pits is a rare genetic autosomal dominant affection that represents the first cause of syndromic cleft and palate. Lower associated not with palate characteristic in this syndrome. The treatment surgical can be very challenging since aesthetic good results hard to achieve We report familial case as only manifestation.

The role of interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene mutations in causing Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) and poplyteal pterygium syndrome has been described in different populations worldwide. The former is one of the major syndromes of cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) with the distinct phenotype of presence of pits with or without sinuses on the lower lip. We identified seven probands with...

Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS) is an autosomal craniofacial disorder characterized by lower lip pits and cleft lip and/or palate. Mutations in the interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene have been identified in patients with VWS. To identify novel IRF6 mutations in patients affected by VWS, we screened 2 Brazilian families, sequencing the entire IRF6-coding region and flanking intronic boundar...

Methods: This is a prospective observational study conducted at diagnostics department Nishter institute dentistry, Multan from Feb,2022 to December,2022 for period 11 months determine relative frequency...

Congenital pits of the lower lip constitute a rare developmental malformation, transmitted by an autosomal dominant mode, with considerable heterogeneity as regards the expression of the disorder. They are present in van der Woude syndrome (VWS), in which clefts of the upper lip and/or palate are often observed. Literature related to the various parameters associated with and relevant to the di...

Kabuki make-up syndrome (KS), also called Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder of unknown etiology. Most KS cases occur sporadically and familial KS had never been reported in Taiwan. I describe four individuals in one family with KS. Significant intrafamilial variability in the clinical expression of this syndrome is evident. In addition to the typical craniofacial dysmorphis...

INTRODUCTION Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) is the most frequent form of syndromic cleft lip and palate (SCLP) accounting for 2% of all patients with CLP. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the orthodontic treatment of a girl diagnosed with VWS referred by her family dentist for her cosmetic concerns. DISCUSSION Comprehensive orthodontic treatment, secondary bone graft, distraction osteogenesis (f...

Cleft lip and cleft palate (CLP) are common disorders that occur either as part of a syndrome, where structures other than the lip and palate are affected, or in the absence of other anomalies. Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) and popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) are autosomal dominant disorders characterized by combinations of cleft lip, CLP, lip pits, skin-folds, syndactyly and oral adhesions w...
