Exclusion of the Ellis-van Creveld region on chromosome 4p16 in some families with asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy and short-rib polydactyly syndromes. (1/47)
Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a relatively rare, usually non-lethal, autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by short stature, polydactyly, cardiac and renal anomalies. Linkage analysis has localized the disease gene to chromosome 4p16, with the markers at loci D4S827 and D4S3135 defining the centromeric and telomeric limits of the linked interval, respectively. There has been long-term speculation that asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD) and the short-rib polydactyly syndromes (SRP) represent the severe end of the EVC disease spectrum. We performed linkage analysis using markers from the EVC region in seven families manifesting either ATD or SRP type III. In two of the families, one segregating ATD and one SRP kindred, linkage of the phenotype to the EVC region was excluded. In the other five families linkage of the phenotype to the EVC region could not be excluded, but the families were too small for linkage to the region to be established. The exclusion of the EVC region in ATD and SRP III families suggests that locus heterogeneity exists within the short-rib dysplasia (with and without polydactyly) group of disorders.

Chondroectodermal dysplasia (Ellis-van Creveld syndrome) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by short-limb dwarfism, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal defects, and congenital heart disease. This condition is most prevalent in the Amish population of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, occurring in 1/5000 births and in 1/60,000 births in the general population. This report presents a case of ultrasonographic detection of chondroectodermal dysplasia at 12 weeks of gestation.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) is an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia. Elsewhere, we described mutations in EVC in patients with this condition (Ruiz-Perez et al. 2000). We now report that mutations in EVC2 also cause EvC. These two genes lie in a head-to-head configuration that is conserved from fish to man. Affected individuals with mutations in EVC and EVC2 have the typical spectrum of features and are phenotypically indistinguishable. (+info)Increased first-trimester fetal nuchal translucency thickness in association with chondroectodermal dysplasia (Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome). (4/47)
Increased nuchal translucency thickness (NT) is an established sonographic marker of fetal chromosomal abnormality. Several structural fetal defects and genetic syndromes including a range of skeletal dysplasias have been reported in association with increased NT. We report the first case of fetal Ellis-Van Creveld syndrome presenting as raised fetal NT at 13 weeks' gestation. Ultrasonography at 18 weeks' gestation demonstrated a narrow thorax, marked shortening of the long bones with bowed femora and hexadactyly of hands and feet. Pregnancy was terminated at 23 weeks' gestation. The postmortem radiological examination revealed short and bowed long bones with rounded metaphyses, postaxial polydactyly of hands and feet, short ribs and narrow thorax. The acetabular roofs were horizontal with medial and lateral spurs. This case adds a further type of severe skeletal dysplasia to the list of genetic syndromes which may present as increased fetal NT in the late first trimester.

Chondroectodermal dysplasia is a rare mesenchymal - ectodermal dysplasia first described in 1940 by Richard W.B. Ellis and Simon van Creveld now known as Ellis van Creveld syndrome. It is also known as Mesvectodermal dysplasia. Majority of cases were characteristically seen in one particular inbred population from the Amish community of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. The syndrome manifests with several skeletal anomalies, oral mucosal and dental anomalies, congenital cardiac defects and nail dysplasia. Ellis van Creveld syndrome may be differentiated from other chondrodystrophies like achondroplasia, chondroplasia punctata, asphyxiating thorasic dystrophy and Morquio's syndrome. The presence of oral mucosal and dental alterations like notching of the lower alveolar process, fusion of the upper lip with gingival mucosal margin, occasional presence of neonatal teeth, oligodontia and conical shape of anterior teeth will confirm the diagnosis of Ellis van Creveld syndrome and hence its importance to dentists.

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the EVC and EVC2 gene (4p16), characterized by chondrodystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cardiac anomalies. We present the case of a 24 years old female patient with unaffected parents and an affected sister, with a personal history of surgically corrected postaxial polydactyly of both hands and atriventricular canal. Clinical features were: a marked acromesomelic short stature (135 cm height), narrow thorax, genu valgum, club feet, brachydactyly, malposed toes, hypoplastic nails and teeth, diffuse alopecia, atrioventricular canal, hypoplastic mammary glands and a small goiter. Radiologic evaluation revealed short metacarpals and phalanges, capitat and hamat fusion on the left, left ulnar epiphysis with areas of osteolysis and osteocondensation, genu valgum, short fibulae, narrow thorax, cardiac enlargement with hilar congestion. Echocardiogram showed absence of the atrial sept and the basal portion of the ventricular sept and electrochardiogram--right bundle branch block, left anterior fascicular block and left ventricular hypertrophy. Free thyroxine, TSH and usual laboratory parameters were in the normal range with exception of ionic calcium which was low (3.8 mg/dL). (+info)Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. (7/47)
Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a chondral and ectodermal dysplasia characterized by short ribs, polydactyly, growth retardation, and ectodermal and heart defects. It is a rare disease with approximately 150 cases reported worldwide. The exact prevalence is unknown, but the syndrome seems more common among the Amish community. Prenatal abnormalities (that may be detected by ultrasound examination) include narrow thorax, shortening of long bones, hexadactyly and cardiac defects. After birth, cardinal features are short stature, short ribs, polydactyly, and dysplastic fingernails and teeth. Heart defects, especially abnormalities of atrial septation, occur in about 60% of cases. Cognitive and motor development is normal. This rare condition is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait with variable expression. Mutations of the EVC1 and EVC2 genes, located in a head to head configuration on chromosome 4p16, have been identified as causative. EVC belongs to the short rib-polydactyly group (SRP) and these SRPs, especially type III (Verma-Naumoff syndrome), are discussed in the prenatal differential diagnosis. Postnatally, the essential differential diagnoses include Jeune dystrophy, McKusick-Kaufman syndrome and Weyers syndrome. The management of EVC is multidisciplinary. Management during the neonatal period is mostly symptomatic, involving treatment of the respiratory distress due to narrow chest and heart failure. Orthopedic follow-up is required to manage the bones deformities. Professional dental care should be considered for management of the oral manifestations. Prognosis is linked to the respiratory difficulties in the first months of life due to thoracic narrowness and possible heart defects. Prognosis of the final body height is difficult to predict. (+info)A rare variant of Ellis van Creveld syndrome. (8/47)
A nine-year-old boy presented with progressively-increasing exertional dyspnoea for the last three months. The only significant finding in the general survey was polydactyly. His vital signs were normal. He had a prominent apical diastolic thrill, a prominent S1 with a low-pitched grade 4/6 mid diastolic rumbling murmur over the apex. The S2 was widely split, fixed and the second component was louder than the first one. There was a grade 3/6 ejection systolic murmur over the left second intercostal space. Electrocardiography showed features of left axis deviation, bi-atrial enlargement and right ventricular hypertrophy. Transthoracic echocardiography identified a thin undulating intra-atrial membrane on the left side along with an ostium-primum defect. In this patient, the diagnosis of a variant of Ellis van Creveld syndrome was made. (+info)Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of bones and other organs. It is characterized by short limbs, narrow chest, extra fingers or toes (polydactyly), heart defects, and abnormalities of the teeth and nails. The condition is caused by mutations in the EVC or EVC2 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. It is also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia.
A labial frenum, also known as the frenulum of the lip, is a small fold of mucous membrane that attaches the inner surface of the upper or lower lip to the gums. The maxillary labial frenum connects the upper lip to the gums behind the upper front teeth, while the mandibular labial frenum connects the lower lip to the gums between the lower front teeth. In some cases, a thick or tight labial frenum can cause dental issues such as gaps between the front teeth or recession of the gums, and may require surgical intervention.
Mouth abnormalities, also known as oral or orofacial anomalies, refer to structural or functional differences or defects in the mouth and surrounding structures, including the lips, teeth, gums, palate, tongue, and salivary glands. These abnormalities can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later in life due to injury, disease, or surgery. They can range from minor variations in size, shape, or position of oral structures to more significant anomalies that may affect speech, swallowing, chewing, breathing, and overall quality of life.
Examples of mouth abnormalities include cleft lip and palate, macroglossia (enlarged tongue), microglossia (small tongue), ankyloglossia (tongue-tie), high or narrow palate, bifid uvula (split uvula), dental malocclusion (misaligned teeth), supernumerary teeth (extra teeth), missing teeth, and various oral tumors or cysts. Some mouth abnormalities may require medical intervention, such as surgery, orthodontic treatment, or speech therapy, while others may not necessitate any treatment.
Tooth abnormalities refer to any variations or irregularities in the size, shape, number, structure, or development of teeth that deviate from the typical or normal anatomy. These abnormalities can occur in primary (deciduous) or permanent teeth and can be caused by genetic factors, environmental influences, systemic diseases, or localized dental conditions during tooth formation.
Some examples of tooth abnormalities include:
1. Microdontia - teeth that are smaller than normal in size.
2. Macrodontia - teeth that are larger than normal in size.
3. Peg-shaped teeth - teeth with a narrow, conical shape.
4. Talon cusps - additional cusps or points on the biting surface of a tooth.
5. Dens invaginatus - an abnormal development where the tooth crown has an extra fold or pouch that can trap bacteria and cause dental problems.
6. Taurodontism - teeth with large pulp chambers and short roots.
7. Supernumerary teeth - having more teeth than the typical number (20 primary and 32 permanent teeth).
8. Hypodontia - missing one or more teeth due to a failure of development.
9. Germination - two adjacent teeth fused together, usually occurring in the front teeth.
10. Fusion - two separate teeth that have grown together during development.
Tooth abnormalities may not always require treatment unless they cause functional, aesthetic, or dental health issues. A dentist can diagnose and manage tooth abnormalities through various treatments, such as fillings, extractions, orthodontic care, or restorative procedures.
Medical definitions of "malformed nails" may vary, but generally, it refers to a condition where the nails are abnormally formed or shaped. This can include various deformities such as:
1. Koilonychia: Also known as "spoon nails," where the nails appear scooped out and concave.
2. Pterygium: A condition where skin grows over the nail, causing it to adhere to the finger.
3. Onychogryphosis: Also known as "ram's horn nails," where the nails become thick, curved, and overgrown.
4. Brachyonychia: Shortened nails that do not grow normally.
5. Onychauxis: Thickening of the nails.
6. Leukonychia: White spots or lines on the nails.
7. Beau's lines: Indentations across the nails, often caused by a previous illness or injury.
8. Pitting: Small depressions or holes in the nails.
9. Cracking or splitting of the nails.
These nail abnormalities can be caused by various factors such as genetics, fungal infections, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, and underlying medical conditions.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Hebrides" is not a medical term. It refers to an archipelago off the west coast of Scotland, consisting of two main groups of islands: the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides. The islands are known for their stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique Gaelic culture. If you have any questions about medical terminology or concepts, I'd be happy to help!
Natal teeth refer to teeth that are present in a newborn baby's mouth at the time of birth. They are considered to be prematurely erupted teeth, as they emerge before 20 weeks of age, which is the normal time range for primary (baby) teeth to appear. Natal teeth can vary in number, size, and development, ranging from small, peg-like teeth to fully formed ones.
These teeth are not common, occurring in only about 1 in every 2,000 to 3,000 births. In some cases, natal teeth may be loose or wobbly due to their premature eruption and lack of a well-developed root system. They can sometimes cause discomfort or irritation to the baby during breastfeeding or bottle feeding.
It is essential to have natal teeth evaluated by a healthcare professional, such as a pediatrician or dentist, to determine if they pose any risks or need removal. In some instances, natal teeth may be removed due to concerns about potential damage to the baby's tongue or risk of aspiration. However, if the teeth are stable and not causing any issues, they can often be left alone and will eventually fall out on their own as the child grows and develops.
Polydactyly is a genetic condition where an individual is born with more than the usual number of fingers or toes, often caused by mutations in specific genes. It can occur as an isolated trait or as part of a genetic syndrome. The additional digit(s) may be fully formed and functional, underdeveloped, or just a small bump. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital limb abnormalities.
Anodontia is a medical term that refers to the congenital absence or lack of development of all primary (deciduous) and/or permanent teeth. It is a rare dental condition that affects tooth development and can be isolated or associated with various syndromes and genetic disorders.
In anodontia, the dental tissues responsible for forming teeth, including the dental lamina, dental papilla, and dental follicle, fail to develop properly, resulting in missing teeth. The condition can affect all teeth or only some of them, leading to partial anodontia.
Anodontia is different from hypodontia, which refers to the congenital absence of one or more, but not all, teeth. It is also distinct from oligodontia, which is the absence of six or more permanent teeth, excluding third molars (wisdom teeth).
People with anodontia may experience difficulties in chewing, speaking, and maintaining oral hygiene, leading to various dental and social problems. Prosthodontic treatments, such as dentures or implants, are often necessary to restore oral function and aesthetics.
Dwarfism is a medical condition that is characterized by short stature, typically with an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or less. It is caused by a variety of genetic and medical conditions that affect bone growth, including skeletal dysplasias, hormonal deficiencies, and chromosomal abnormalities.
Skeletal dysplasias are the most common cause of dwarfism and are characterized by abnormalities in the development and growth of bones and cartilage. Achondroplasia is the most common form of skeletal dysplasia, accounting for about 70% of all cases of dwarfism. It is caused by a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene and results in short limbs, a large head, and a prominent forehead.
Hormonal deficiencies, such as growth hormone deficiency or hypothyroidism, can also cause dwarfism if they are not diagnosed and treated early. Chromosomal abnormalities, such as Turner syndrome (monosomy X) or Down syndrome (trisomy 21), can also result in short stature and other features of dwarfism.
It is important to note that people with dwarfism are not "dwarves" - the term "dwarf" is a medical and sociological term used to describe individuals with this condition, while "dwarves" is a term often used in fantasy literature and media to refer to mythical beings. The use of the term "dwarf" can be considered disrespectful or offensive to some people with dwarfism, so it is important to use respectful language when referring to individuals with this condition.
"Genu valgum," also known as "knock-knee," is a condition where there is an excessive angle between the thighbone (femur) and the shinbone (tibia), causing the knees to touch or come close together while the ankles remain separated when standing with the feet and knees together. This abnormal alignment can lead to difficulty walking, running, and participating in certain activities, as well as potential long-term complications such as joint pain and osteoarthritis if not properly addressed. Genu valgum is typically diagnosed through physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays, and treatment may include observation, physical therapy, bracing, or surgery depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's age and overall health.

Diseases3
- Until recently, the medical literature did not indicate a connection among many genetic disorders, both genetic syndromes and genetic diseases, that are now being found to be related. (wikipedia.org)
- The cilia defects adversely affect "numerous critical developmental signaling pathways" essential to cellular development and thus offer a plausible hypothesis for the often multi-symptom nature of a large set of syndromes and diseases. (wikipedia.org)
- We demonstrate the performance of PVP in identifying causative variants on a large number of synthetic whole exome and whole genome sequences, covering a wide range of diseases and syndromes. (plos.org)
