Meige disease (familial lymphedema praecox) and cleft palate: report of a family and review of the literature.

This is a report of a family with lymphedema praecox and cleft palate. The mother had only lymphedema of the lower extremities; she gave birth to five sons, 3 of whom had both lymphedema of the lower extremities and cleft palate. Others have reported similar associations in the literature without calling attention to their relationship. In familial cases, an autosomal dominant mode of transmission with variable expression has been suggested. A common pathogenetic mechanism that might account for the localized lymphedema and associated cleft palate can only be speculated at this stage of our understanding of the condition.

Genetic services at a center for craniofacial anomalies.

Advances in medical genetics and syndrome delineation have demonstrated that many clinical entities are an expression of genetic variability. Assessment of the population at the Center for Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of Illinois Medical Center at Chicago provided a measure of the need for genetic diagnosis and counseling. While it is recognized that this experience is not necessarily representative of that prevailing at other centers, this report provides a basis for interinstitutional comparisons. Public recognition of the need and consequent demand for genetic services is increasing. The inevitable conclusion is that genetic evaluation and counseling are essential services at a center for craniofacial anomalies.
