Abstract

Cytological and morphological data of 187 spontaneous abortuses, 25 fetuses and infants with triploidy described in literature and 6 proper triploid abortuses were analyzed. It was established that in spite of polymorphism of phenotypical manifestations of triploidy in ontogenesis there are a number of permanent, often combining morphological changes (asymmetry of the body, syndactylism of the III--IV fingers and toes, anomalies in the nervous and genito-urinary system). These features in addition Institute of Medical Genetics, USSR Acad. Med. Sci., and Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ministry of Health, USSR. To dysplasias present in other chromosomal disorders, allow establishing the syndrom of triploidy in man and to diagnose the disease with great probability. Hydropic and cystose degeneration of the chorion villi met in 85% of cases of triploidy has but external resemblance with true vesicular mole which has normal karyotype. Cytogenetical and morphofunctional differences between them were noted.

Familial occurrence of renal and Müllerian duct hypoplasia, craniofacial anomalies, severe growth and developmental delay.

Absence of the kidneys and of the Müllerian structures has been reported in many patients. We report on a brother and sister, born to nonconsanguineous parents, with renal hypoplasia, Müllerian duct hypoplasia, and strikingly similar facial abnormalities. Both sibs have severe growth and developmental retardation. We think that the unique clinical findings in these sibs represent a new syndrome. The embryological and genetic implications of this condition are discussed.

Deletion (14) (q24.3q32.1): evidence for a distinct clinical phenotype.

We report on a 4-year-old girl with distinctive facial features (redundant skin, bushy eyebrows, narrow palpebral fissures, short, upturned nose, epicanthal folds, and a long upper lip with well-defined philtrum) who has an interstitial deletion of chromosome 14 including band 14q31, designated as 46,XX,del(14)(pter-->q24.3::q32.1-->qter). Comparison with previously reported patients with deletions of 14q involving band 14q31 suggests that there is a distinctive clinical phenotype associated with this deletion. Our patient had dental abnormalities (3 maxillary and 3 mandibular incisors) not described in the other patients.

Atelosteogenesis type II: sonographic and radiological correlation.

Atelosteogenesis type II is a lethal chondrodysplasia characterized by severe micromelia, spinal abnormalities, talipes equinovarus, and abducted thumbs and toes. We present a case diagnosed at 21 weeks of gestation in which antenatal sonographic and post-mortem radiological findings were correlated. The patient had a recurrence of this disorder in a subsequent pregnancy which was terminated at 15 weeks, supporting previous reports of an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The feasibility of diagnosing the following morphological features by prenatal ultrasonography is demonstrated: coronal clefts of the vertebral bodies, metaphyseal and epiphyseal abnormalities, spinal deviations such as cervical kyphosis and a horizontal sacrum, additional ossification centres in the pelvis, and preaxial deviation of the thumbs and toes. The differential diagnosis of this disorder from other skeletal dysplasias with similar features is discussed.
