We describe a single male infant who developed severe hydrops fetalis between 19 and 28 weeks of gestation. After delivery at 32 weeks he was treated by hemofiltration, prolonged ventilation and intravenous feeding. He had hypertelorism, orbital hypoplasia without proptosis, brachydactyly, frontal
A 16-year-old female presented with poor vision in both eyes. On clinical examination, she had bilateral cataracts and optic disc edema bilaterally on ultrasound examination. Extensive intracranial calcification was evident on computerized tomography. Physical examination revealed short stature,
The authors report on a newborn which died only a few hours after birth. It manifested generalized dropsy and ascites, a central upper lip cleft, narrow thorax, severe dysraphia, short limbs but normal-length trunk, and brachydactyly. Particularly striking radiologic findings were the extremely
OBJECTIVE
To present the ultrasound and molecular genetic diagnosis of thanatophoric dysplasia type II (TD2).
METHODS
A 35-year-old, primigravid woman was referred to our institution for genetic counseling and amniocentesis at 19 weeks of gestation because of advanced maternal age and sonographic
We report on an infant girl with hydrops, macrocephaly, high forehead, flat face, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, median cleft lip and alveolar ridge, grooved palate, accessory frenula, small tongue, milia, severe rib and limb shortness, brachydactyly, talipes equinovarus, Dandy-Walker
Clarified slurry oil (CSO, CAS number 64741-62-4), a refinery stream produced by processing crude oil, is a developmental toxicant when administered dermally throughout gestation to pregnant rats. The manifestations of developmental toxicity observed included embryolethality and growth retardation;
In this study, we describe the clinical and radiological phenotype of two patients with a rare skeletal dysplasia type al Gazali. The phenotype is characterized by brachycephaly, flat face, hypertelorism, low-set ears, hypertrichosis, hypoplastic thorax, as well as short extremities with
Single doses of 2,3,4,6,8,10, and 15 mg/kg of cadmium chloride were administered (SC) to groups of MF1 mice on one of days 7 to 12 of gestation. Fetuses collected on day 18 were observed for limb malformations, and alizarin red-S stained skeletons were examined for their skeletal bases.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical features, mutation of the GNAS1 and pathogenesis of progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH).
METHODS
The typical clinical, pathological and radiographic features of a boy with POH were collected and summarized following family survey. The GNAS1 gene sequence of
Mitochondrial disorder (MtD) is usually a multisystem disease due to impaired mitochondrial energy production. Severe hypokalemia resulting in muscle weakness and rhabdomyolysis has not been reported as a phenotypic feature of MtD. Here we describe a 60-year-old male patient who developed myalgias
Our objective in the present study was to determine the effects of alcohol on stages when the limb buds and renal primordia develop in the TO mouse and to see if aspirin pretreatment would prevent these organ systems from being malformed as was shown by Randall et al. ('91) in the C57 mice. On one
A 25-year-old man is described with short stature, moderate mental retardation, an abnormal facial appearance, a webbed neck, skeletal abnormalities including proximal symphalangism of bilateral second through fifth fingers, mixed hearing loss, and slowly progressive, sclerosing nephropathy. He was
Pierre-Robin sequence, radial deviation, and ulnar clinodactyly of the index fingers due to an additional phalangeal bone, as well as heart defects are the key features of Catel-Manzke syndrome. Although mutations in TGDS were identified as the cause of this disorder, the pathogenetic mechanism
