颅额鼻窦综合征是一种非常罕见的显性X连锁遗传疾病,其特征是端质过度,颅骨融合症,眼睛改变,双裂鼻尖,以及钉子的纵向起皱和劈开。杂合女性通常是受严重影响的患者。迄今为止,哥伦比亚尚未公布这些患者的临床或遗传数据.在这里,我们报告了一名女性见证者,患有冠状颅骨融合症,超端粒,斜视,旋转眼震,高拱形腭,牙齿拥挤,脊柱侧弯,严重的漏斗胸,单侧乳腺发育不全,和短指;诊断为颅额鼻综合征,具有新的杂合变体c.374A>C(p。EFNB1基因中的Glu125Ala)。到目前为止,她接受了双裂鼻和脐疝的物理治疗和手术矫正。据我们所知,这是哥伦比亚首例罕见遗传病患者的报告,扩大其突变谱,并强调对颅骨融合和面部畸形患者进行遗传评估的重要性。
Craniofrontonasal Syndrome is a very rare dominant X-linked genetic disorder characterized by symptoms such as
hypertelorism, craniosynostosis, eye alterations, bifid nose tip, and longitudinal ridging and splitting of nails. Heterozygous females are usually the patients severely affected. To date, clinical or genetic data have not been published for these patients in Colombia. Here we report a female proband with coronal craniosynostosis,
hypertelorism, strabismus, rotational nystagmus, high-arched palate, dental crowding, scoliosis, severe pectus excavatum, unilateral breast hypoplasia, and brachydactyly; diagnosed with Craniofrontonasal Syndrome with the novel heterozygous variant c.374A>C (p.Glu125Ala) in the EFNB1 gene. So far, she has been treated with physical therapy and surgical correction of the bifid nose and an umbilical hernia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with this rare genetic disorder in Colombia, expanding its mutational spectrum and highlighting the importance of genetic evaluation of patients with craniosynostosis and facial dysmorphism.
