A. Hypotonia
B. Microcephaly
C. Frontal bossing
D. Epicanthal folds

E
+ developmental delay
+ micrognathia
+ epicanthal fords
WOLF-HIRSCHHORN SYNDROME or 4P- SYNDROME
TOF. Greek warrior’s facial helmet appearance due to FLEEKED eyebrows, HIDDEN glabella, HYPOTELORISM, and SHORT beaked nose.
F (arched eyebrows, prominent glabella, hypertelorism, and long beaked nose)
WOLF-HIRSCHHORN SYNDROME or 4P- SYNDROME
TOF. Needs special education but decreased risk for seizures.
F (increased risk for seizures)
WOLF-HIRSCHHORN SYNDROME or 4P- SYNDROME
Ways to Diagnose
Karyotyping and FISH
Who requests to diagnose 4P syndrome?
Doctor
CRI-DU-CHAT
A. 4, del(4)(p16)
B. 5, del(5)(p15)
C. 7 (7q11.23)
D. 8q24.11-q24.13
B
AKA 5P-SYNDROME
CRI-DU-CHAT or 5P-SYNDROME
Except:
A. Epicanthal folds
B. Cardiac anomalies
C. Mental retardation
D. 6 y.o. Social/Cognitive level
E. Micrognathia
E (4P)
4P, 5P or both
hypertelorism
Both
4P, 5P or both
cat-like cry
5P
4P, 5P or both
Microcephaly
both
4P, 5P or both
low birth weight
5P
4P, 5P or both
hypotonia
both
4P, 5P or both
frontal bossing
4p
involve a fraction of a single chromosome band (>500 kb)
and maybe large enough to be identified by analysis
Microdeletions
aybe large enough to be identified by karyotype analysis but most may require FISH for detection
Microdeletions
involve a single to several hundred base pair
and are identified by molecular technology
Molecular Deletions
are those that are due to deletions that encompass several adjacent (magkakatabi), unrelated genes resulting in variable phenotypic expression
Contiguous Gene syndromes
WILLIAMS SYNDROME
A. 4, del(4)(p16)
B. 7 (7q11.23)
C. 5, del(5)(p15)
D. 8q24.11-q24.13
B
WILLIAMS SYNDROME
TOF. Deletion of the elastin gene (ELN gene) on the proximal short arm of chromosome 7 (7q11.23)
F (long arm)
WILLIAMS SYNDROME
Unequal meiotic crossover results to?
interstitial deletion
WILLIAMS SYNDROME
important component of tissues in the heart, blood vessels, skin, and vocal cords is absent among these patients, thus the clinical features, except behavioral anomalies which may be explained as a contiguous gene syndrome
Elastin
WILLIAMS SYNDROME
Except:
A. Missing teeth
B. Hypersensitivity to sound
C. Low IQ with behavioral anomalies
D. Blue eyes with stellate pattern in the iris
E. NOTA
A
William’s Syndrome
Except:
A. Prominent lips with hoarse voice
B. Premature aging of the skin
C. Supravalvular aortic stenosis
D. Hypertension
E. NOTA
