Trisomy 7 mosaicism and manifestations of Goldenhar syndrome with unilateral radial hypoplasia.

We describe a girl born to a mother who took birth control pills and antihistamines during the first trimester of pregnancy. Congenital abnormalities included plagiocephaly, abnormalities of left ear, facial asymmetry, abnormalities of head hair pattern, cleft lip and palate, bifid tongue, left torticollis, hemivertebrae, left radial hypoplasia and absent thumb, left inguinal hernia, patient ductus arteriosus, narrowing of the thoracic aorta, and hypoplastic right pulmonary artery. The karyotype obtained from peripheral lymphocytes and from fibroblasts from the left side of the body was 46XX whereas fibroblasts from the right side revealed 46XX/47XX+7 mosaicism.

Branchio-oto-renal dysplasia and branchio-oto dysplasia: two distinct autosomal dominant disorders.

Three families are presented, one with branchio-oto-renal dysplasia (BOR) and two with branchio-oto dysplasia (BO). The former syndrome is characterized by external ear malformations, cervical fistulae, mixed hearing loss and renal anomalies of varying severity. The latter syndrome differs in that there are no renal anomalies and that the sensorineural component of the hearing loss may be absent. The external ear malformations are quite variable in both syndromes. Evidence is presented which supports the idea that these two syndromes are not phenotypic variants of the same autosomal dominant mutation but distinct disease entities. The BOR syndrome appears to belong to a larger group of hereditary ear dysplasia-renal adysplasia syndromes that must be carefully ruled out in all patients with familial branchial arch malformations as well as in the parents and siblings of infants with "Potter facies" in the presence of auricular malformation and renal adysplasia.

Clinical experience with trisomies 18 and 13.

The clinical, cytogenetic, dermatoglyphic, and postmortem observations of the 29 cases of trisomy 18 and 19 cases of trisomy 13 seen in the Department of Medical Genetics from 1963-76 are summarised. Chromosomes were studied in all and 30 were banded. One patient had tertiary trisomy 18 and 8 had translocations of chromosome 13. The features of these patients are described and the syndromes compared with each other and summaries found in the literature.
