Acrodysplasia, severe ossification abnormalities with short stature, and fibular hypoplasia.

We present a girl with short stature, growth hormone neurosecretory dysfunction, severe hypoplastic/aplastic changes of the bones of the hands and feet with dysharmonic ossification, severely delayed bone age, microcrania, and fibular hypoplasia. Parental consanguinity suggests autosomal recessive inheritance. An additional three cases [Eiken et al., 1984: Eur J Pediatr 141: 231-235] sharing some of the radiographic manifestations of this patient have been reported. However, distinctive findings in the present case seem to outline a separate entity.

Terminal deletion, del(1)(p36.3), detected through screening for terminal deletions in patients with unclassified malformation syndromes.

We report on a 4 year-old girl with a 1p36.3-pter deletion. Clinical findings included minor anomalies of face and distal limbs, patent ductus arteriosus, the Ebstein heart anomaly, and brain atrophy with seizures. Conventional GTG-banded chromosome analysis revealed a normal (46,XX) result. Subsequent analysis by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using distal probes demonstrated a deletion of 1p36.6-pter. Molecular investigations with microsatellite markers showed hemizygosity at three loci at 1p36.3 with loss of the paternal allele. The deletion of 1p36.3 is difficult to identify by banding alone; indeed, our patient represents the third reported case with a del(1)(p36.3) that was detected only after more detailed analysis. In all three cases the deletion was detected through screening of patients with multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndromes suggestive of autosomal chromosome aberrations for subtelomeric submicroscopic deletions by means of FISH or microsatellite marker analysis. On the basis of these observations we highly recommend that FISH with a subtelomeric 1p probe be routinely performed in patients with similar facial phenotype, severe mental retardation and seizures, and a heart malformation, particularly the Ebstein anomaly.

Faunal correlation of Wadi Moghara, Egypt: implications for the age of Prohylobates tandyi.

Wadi Moghara, Egypt, is an early Miocene fossil locality with a mammalian fauna that includes Prohylobates tandyi, one of the earliest known representatives of the Cercopithecoidea. Faunal correlations were conducted between Moghara, Gebel Zelten (Libya) and a series of East African fossil sites with established radiometric dates in order to estimate the age of the Moghara mammals, including P. tandyi. Results confirm hypotheses proposed in some previous studies that: (1) Moghara is about 18-17 Ma, approximately the same age as the Hiwegi fauna from Rusinga Island (Kenya); (2) Moghara is slightly older than Gebel Zelten (Libya) (17-15 Ma); and (3) the cercopithecoid tooth presently identified as Victoriapithecus sp. from Napak V (ca. 19 Ma) is currently the oldest known record of a fossil Old World monkey, followed by P. tandyi from Moghara (Egypt) (18-17 Ma) and Prohylobates sp. from Buluk (Kenya) (>17.2 Ma), P. simonsi from Gebel Zelten (Libya) (ca. 17-15 Ma), and V. macinnesi from Maboko (Kenya) (ca. 16-14.7 Ma).
