Syndrome of facial, oral, and digital anomalies due to 7q21.2-->q22.1 duplication

Am J Med Genet. 1998 Dec 28;80(5):454-8. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1096-8628(19981228)80:5<454::aid-ajmg4>3.0.co;2-o.

Abstract

We report on an 18-year-old man with moderate mental retardation, multiple congenital anomalies and partial trisomy 7q21.2-->q22.1, as the unbalanced product of a familial balanced 7q/6q insertion translocation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of interstitial trisomy 7q21.2-->q22.1 reported. The syndrome is characterized by the presence of facial, oral, and digital anomalies: 1) macrocephaly with frontal bossing, hypertelorism, small palpebral fissures with downward slant; 2) lobulated tongue, multiple intrabuccal frenula, oligodontia and enamel hypoplasia; 3) cutaneous syndactyly of fingers II-III and III-IV, broad and short fingertips with fetal pads, broad thumbs, and halluces.
