Partial trisomy 2q.

Abstract

An infant with unusual facies and anomalies of brain, heart, and kidney was found to have a simple duplication of the distal long arm of chromosome 2. The clinical features of this case refine the phenotypic spectrum of partial trisomy 2q; prior cases had more complicated chromosomal rearrangements.

Patch repair of subsemilunar conal septal defect resulting in severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

A subsemilunar conal septal defect was closed at 8 months of age with a redundant Dacron patch that bowed into the left ventricular outflow tract, resulting in severe subaortic stenosis and massive left ventricular hypertrophy. Mistaken for cardiomyopathy or myocarditis, this rare complication of subsemilunar ventricular septal defect patch closure led to orthotopic cardiac transplantation followed by death.

Craniofacial structure in diastrophic dysplasia--a cephalometric study.

Diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) is a well characterized, recessively inherited osteochondrodysplasia. Forty-eight patients with DTD were studied for craniofacial characteristics. Of these patients, 58% had cleft palate. A cephalometric analysis based on lateral cephalograms was performed. We observed a short anterior cranial base, vertical nasal bones, short and posteriorly positioned upper and lower jaws, increased anterior facial height, increase in the sagittal length of the body of the cervical vertebrae, and an abnormal dens of the second cervical vertebra. DTDST, in which mutations responsible for the disease occur, is a gene that codes for a sulphate transporter membrane protein. The craniofacial anomalies in DTD most likely result from deficient development and growth of cartilaginous structures and are probably due to defective sulfation of the proteoglycans of the cartilage.
