| Resumo | |
Femoral-facial syndrome (FFS, OMIM 134780), also known as femoral hypoplasia-unusual face syndrome, is a rare sporadic syndrome associated with maternal diabetes, and comprising femoral hypoplasia/agenesis and a distinct facies characterized by micrognathia, cleft palate, and other minor dysmorphisms. The evaluation of 14 unpublished Brazilian patients, prompted us to make an extensive literature review comparing both sets of data. From 120 previously reported individuals with FFS, 66 were excluded due to: not meeting the inclusion criteria (n = 21); not providing sufficient data to ascertain the diagnosis (n = 29); were better assigned to another diagnosis (n = 3); and, being fetuses of the second trimester (n = 13) due to the obvious difficult to confirm a typical facies. Clinical-radiological and family information from 54 typical patients were collected and compared with the 14 new Brazilian patients. The comparison between the two sets of patients did not show any relevant differences. Femoral involvement was most frequently hypoplasia, observed in 91.2% of patients, and the typical facies was characterized by micrognathia (97%), cleft palate (61.8%), and minor dysmorphisms (frontal bossing 63.6%, short nose 91.7%, long philtrum 94.9%, and thin upper lip 92.3%). Clubfoot (55.9%) was commonly observed. Other observed findings may be part of FFS or may be simply concurrent anomalies since maternal diabetes is a common risk factor. While maternal diabetes was the only common feature observed during pregnancy (50.8%), no evidence for a monogenic basis was found. Moreover, a monozygotic discordant twin pair was described reinforcing the absence of a major genetic factor associated with FFS. (AU) | |
