Abstract:
Orofaciodigital syndrome type 1 (OFDS1) is a genetic disorder characterized by specific oral, facial, and limb malformations. A 14-month-old girl with congenital cleft palate, lower lip midline cleft, and digital anomalies admitted to our hospital was preliminarily diagnosed with OFDS1. Genetic analysis revealed that she carried a heterozygous variant of OFD1 at locus Xp22.2 on the X chromosome. Herein, we present the specific phenotype and genotype and the treatment modalities for this patient and references for diagnosing and treating OFDS.
