Familial orofaciodigital syndrome type I revealed by ultrasound prenatal diagnosis of porencephaly

Abstract: Porencephaly is a rare central nervous system (CNS) abnormality that can be caused by an intraparenchymal destructive process or a developmental defect. Here we report on a prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of complex CNS abnormalities including agenesis of the corpus callosum, agenesis of the cerebellar vermis, bilateral hydrocephaly, and bilateral porencephaly in fetus at 33 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis of familial orofaciodigital syndrome type I (OFD I) was raised after fetal autopsy, clinical examination of… Show more

“…Because severe CNS malformations have also rarely been reported with OFD I syndrome [Doss et al, 1998; Odent et al, 1998; Thauvin‐Robinet et al, 2001], we decided to study the OFD1 gene, leading to the identification of the causal c.400_403delGAAA mutation. This mutation has previously been reported in two sporadic cases with OFD I syndrome [Prattichizzo et al, 2008; Macca and Franco, 2009]: the first patient presented with learning disabilities and the second patient had normal intellectual development.…”
