Abstract

We report on a 9-month-old girl with an interstitial duplication of 19p, developmental delay, and multiple anomalies including bifrontal prominence, obtuse frontonasal angle, short columella, additional midline philtral pillar, midline ridge on the tongue, vertical midline ridge at the mental symphysis, and a complex congenital heart defect including severe branch pulmonary artery stenosis, secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), and several ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Use of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome 19-specific probes showed a direct duplication of bands 19p13.13 and 19p13.2.

Operative mortality and frequency of coexistent anomalies in interruption of the aortic arch.

Operative mortality for 262 infants with interruption of the aortic arch repaired from 1982 to June 1993 has remained constant at about 35%. Major coexistent cardiac malformations, type B interruption, or staged repair are risk factors for mortality.

Coloboma, mental retardation, hypogonadism, and obesity: critical review of the so-called Biemond syndrome type 2, updated nosology, and delineation of three "new" syndromes.

Biemond syndrome type 2 (BS2) is classically regarded as a recessively inherited condition (MIM 210350) comprising mental retardation, coloboma, obesity, polydactyly, hypogonadism, hydrocephalus, and facial dysostosis. Clinically, the disorder is closely related to Bardet-Biedl syndrome. Few cases have been reported, most of them before 1970. We present clinical data on three mentally retarded sporadic cases with coloboma, obesity, and hypogenitalism (in two of them), fitting as first glance a diagnosis of BS2. A review documents striking clinical variability among the patients said to have BS2. We propose a new nosology of those cases and delineate several new clinical forms. Purported BS2 cases may be divided into: (1) Bardet-Biedl syndrome with fortuitous coloboma or aniridia, (2) BS2 sensu stricto, a recessively inherited syndrome of sexual infantilism, short stature, coloboma, and preaxial polydactyly without obesity, only known from the original report, (3) a "new" dominantly inherited form of colobomatous microphthalmia occasionally associated with obesity, hypogonadism, and mental retardation, to which our observations belong. (4) cytogenetically proven Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (one case), (5) an unclassifiable, early lethal familial syndrome resembling Buntinx-Majewski syndrome, and (6) a "new" coloboma-zygodactyly-clefting syndrome. The latter two syndromes may result from chromosomal anomaly.

Another "new" form, the palagonia type of acrofacial dysostosis in a Sicilian family.

We described another previously apparently unreported form of acrofacial dysostosis (AFD) from Sicily, residing, coincidentally in the same small village as that with the recently delineated Catania AFD. In contra-distinction to the latter, the 4 patients with the Palagonia form of AFD are of normal intelligence, and instead of extensive caries have oligodontia (4), short stature (3), frizzy hair (pili torti) with aplasia cutis verticis (1), mild cutaneous syndactyly of digits 2-5 (4), attenuation of the 4th metacarpals (3/3), unilaterally cleft lip (1), and some vertebral anomalies such as a large atlas (1), mild scoliosis (1), small odontoid process, spina bifida occulta at S1 (1). Casually, this would appear to be an iceberg dominant disorder, with the proposita most severely affected. This could be an X-linked dominant, but more likely an autosomal dominant trait.
