Abstract:
Hartsfield syndrome is a rare and unique clinical combination of ectrodactyly and holoprosencephaly (HPE) with or without cleft lip and palate, as well as various additional characteristics. Although several genes responsible for HPE and ectrodactyly have been identified, the genetic origin of Hartsfield syndrome remains unknown, as there are few reports in the literature. The objective of this case report is to present dentofacial abnormalities in an 11-year-old boy with Hartsfield syndrome, who presented mental retardation, hearing loss, bilateral hand and foot ectrodactyly, HPE, and solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) besides 12 dental ageneses.
