Bilateral microtia
Gene: EIF4A3
Richieri-Costa and Pereira (1992) described a seemingly distinct entity in 5 unrelated Brazilian patients. The features were short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, and limb defects. The ears were low set and prominent. Retromicrognathia, microstomia, highly arched palate, and cleft lower alveolar ridge was accompanied by hypoplastic mandible and cleft through the midline with absence of the lower incisors by x-ray. The thumbs were hypoplastic, as was the distal part of the tibias with proximal and lateral displacement of the fibulas and clubfoot.Created: 1 Aug 2016, 11:40 a.m.
This syndrome is characterized by short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, pre/postaxial hand anomalies (including hypoplastic thumbs), and clubfoot. It has been described in 14 Brazilian families and in one unrelated French patient. Prominent low set ears (MICROTIA) and a highly arched palate were also observed. Transmission is autosomal recessive.Created: 1 Aug 2016, 11:31 a.m.
