This study reports on microcephalic twins initially diagnosed with mild de Lange syndrome. Further evaluation revealed a primary deficit in expressive speech, suggesting a potentially unique developmental condition.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and developmental pediatrics, focusing on rare syndromes.

Background:

  • The de Lange syndrome is characterized by intellectual disability, limb anomalies, and distinctive facial features.
  • Mild presentations of de Lange syndrome are less well-defined, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case study of identical twins with microcephaly and intellectual disability is presented.
  • Initial diagnosis considered mild de Lange syndrome due to synophrys (unibrow).

Findings:

  • Follow-up revealed a predominant deficit in expressive speech development in the twins.
  • The specific constellation of symptoms may not align with established de Lange syndrome criteria.

Implications:

  • The findings question the broad categorization of mild de Lange syndrome.
