Mortality, pathological findings and causes of death in the de Lange syndrome.

The mortality of 48 de Lange patients born 1917-82 was found slightly raised compared with the expected number of deaths, and the survival rates appeared to be lowered. No sex differences were observed. The causes of death and the pathological findings were evaluated in 11 patients. Pneumonia was the most frequent cause of death (6 patients). Congenital malformations seemed to be contributory causes of death in 5 patients, the most frequent being congenital heart disease and gastro-intestinal malformations. A wide variety of malformations were found but no consistent macroscopic or microscopic abnormalities could be demonstrated. An incidence figure of 1:50 000 was found for the years 1967-82.

Measurements on hand radiographs from 32 cri-du-chat probands.

Various measurements were performed on the hand radiographs of 32 Danish cri-du-chat probands. Mean pattern profiles were made for males, females, children, and adults. Metacarpal index and relative slenderness for metacarpals and proximal phalanges were calculated. The hands were smaller than in normal persons of the same sex and age. In most of the probands, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th metacarpals were disproportionately short, and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th proximal phalanges were disproportionately long. Only 1 case had a positive metacarpal sign.

Gene frequencies and linkage data on EsD in man.

Gene frequencies of the esterase D system were estimated in a sample of 1,392 unrelated adults living in Copenhagen; the results were EsD1 = 0.896 and EsD2 = 0.104. No genetic linkage could be demonstrated between this system and a series of autosomal makers.

Evaluation of a possible sex difference in recombination for the ABO-AK linkage.

Thirty-five informative families were scored for linkage between the ABO and AK loci. The recombination fractions were estimated separately in females and males and were compared with values reported in the literature. A 1.33:1 ratio for the female:male recombination fraction was obtained by combining all sources, but the difference between the recombination fractions was not significantly different from zero. The present data, combined with those reported earlier, show that the most likely recombination fraction is about 14%.
