We describe a sib pair with craniofacial anomalies, micrognathia, Mobius sequence, generalised myopathy, relative macrocephaly, and developmental delay. They appear to have the Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome (MIM 254940), which has been reported in only four children, a sib pair and two sporadic cases. This report on an additional affected brother and sister pair supports autosomal inheritance as the likely cause. These cases also confirm that scoliosis, talipes equinovarus, and a non-specific primary myopathy are important manifestations of Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome.
We describe two sib fetuses with situs inversus, cystic dysplastic kidney and pancreas, bowing of the lower limbs and clavicles, severe intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), and oligohydramnios. Early prenatal diagnosis of pancreatic and dysplastic renal cysts and situs inversus totalis were made in the 18-week-old fetus. This syndrome differs from that of Ivemark and related syndromes because of the presence of situs inversus totalis and absence of hepatic fibrosis and cysts. The parents were first cousins, and did not have any cysts of kidney, liver, or pancreas detected by ultrasonography.
We describe a 34-year-old woman with mental retardation, short stature, macrocephaly, a "coarse" face, hoarse voice, and redundant skin with deep palmar and plantar creases who had evident Costello syndrome. Lacking papillomata, she had wart-like lesions of the skin. The previously reported patients with Costello syndrome are reviewed. Costello syndrome is probably an autosomal dominant disorder, either caused by a mutation in a single gene or by microdeletion.
