Abstract

The following report highlights the discussions and interaction at the workshop on craniofacial morphogenesis, sponsored by The Human Frontier Science Program, held in April 1993 at the University of Iowa. A brief summary of selected sessions is included to exemplify the benefits of bringing together individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds in order to establish a unified theory of craniofacial morphogenesis. The synthesis of information and experience of a wide range of approaches made the 4-day period an invaluable experience for the participants from nine different countries.

Analysis of the recurrence patterns for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in the families of 3,073 Danish probands.

The identification of several putative susceptibility loci for nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL +/- P) has sparked a renewed interest in the genetics of this condition. However, prior to undertaking linkage studies for complex traits such as CL +/- P it is desirable to have some understanding of the number and nature of the loci involved in disease susceptibility. The ability to obtain valid estimates of these parameters is contingent on the availability of family data which are unbiased by factors that distort the true familial recurrence pattern. In an effort to obtain such data, 2 centralized data repositories (the Danish Central Person Registry and the Danish Facial Cleft Database), were linked and used to estimate the risks to first, second, and third-degree relatives of 3,073 CL +/- P probands born in Denmark from 1952 to 1987. Analyses of these data excluded single locus and additive multilocus inheritance of CL +/- P, and provided evidence that CL +/- P is most likely determined by the effects of multiple interacting loci. Under a multiplicative model, no single locus can account for more than a threefold increase in the risk to first-degree relatives of CL +/- P probands. These data provide further evidence that nonparametric linkage methods (ex. affected relative pair studies) are likely to represent a more realistic approach for identifying CL +/- P susceptibility loci, than are traditional pedigree-based methods. However, at least 100 and more realistically several hundred (300-500) affected sib pairs are likely to be required to detect linkage to CL +/- P susceptibility loci.

Hyponatremia caused by a reset osmostat in a neonate with cleft lip and palate and panhypopituitarism.

A neonate with cleft lip and palate and hypopituitarism had persistent hyponatremia despite treatment with hydrocortisone, L-thyroxine, and growth hormone. Serum sodium concentration and urinary osmolality increased and decreased appropriately and concurrently with alterations in sodium and water intake. The ability to regulate serum concentrations of antidiuretic hormone at subnormal serum sodium concentrations indicated a reset osmostat.
