9p-syndrome: two new observations.
Klinische Padiatrie
|March 1, 1984
Summary
This study compares four patients with 9p-syndrome to 28 known cases, finding typical stigmata. One patient lacked flat occiput and micrognathia, common features in 9p-syndrome.
Area of Science:
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- 9p-syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder associated with characteristic physical features.
- Understanding the phenotypic spectrum is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- Four new cases of 9p-syndrome were evaluated.
- Clinical features were compared with 28 previously documented cases from the literature.
Findings:
- The observed patients exhibited typical stigmata consistent with 9p-syndrome.
- One patient (A.K.) presented with an atypical phenotype, lacking flat occiput and micrognathia, features present in all other reported cases.
Implications:
- These findings contribute to the understanding of 9p-syndrome variability.
- Further research may elucidate genotype-phenotype correlations in 9p-syndrome.
