The mouse disorganization (Ds) was described in mutant mice with multiple congenital anomalies arising from the 3 germinative layers. The human homologue of Ds was proposed in a case presenting multiple congenital anomalies associated with the unique feature of a finger-like skin appendage. Since then, several cases have been reported suggesting the occurrence of a disorganization-like (Ds-like) phenotype in humans. Here, we report a case series of 7 patients presenting with the association of orofacial clefts and finger-like skin appendages. These cases, despite the similarities with Ds and amniotic band sequence, may represent a distinct condition within the spectrum of Ds-like, as other cases previously reported in the literature.

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
