We report on a boy presenting with features of OAVS (Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum) and carrying a 1.5 Mb microdeletion in 15q24.1q24.2. This recurrent deletion usually leads to a broad clinical spectrum but has never been found associated with features of OAVS such as ear agenesis. This observation is in accordance with OAVS being a genetically heterogeneous disorder, and points out the importance of array-CGH screening in this disorder.

Prenatal findings in 11 cases with craniofacial microsomia using the Alberta Congenital Anomalies Surveillance System, 1997-2019.

Craniofacial microsomia (CFM) primarily includes specific head and neck anomalies that co-occur more frequently than expected. The anomalies are usually asymmetric and affect craniofacial features; however, there are frequently additional anomalies of variable severity. Published prenatal findings for CFM are limited.

Haemifacial microsomia is an asymmetrical congenital tissue malformation developed from the first and second branchial arches with or without multi-system involvement. Alternatively recognised as Goldenhar syndrome or oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (OAVS), it is an aetiologically heterogeneous group of disorders showing dominant trends in inheritable form.We present a case of a boy in early childhood with concomitant craniofacial features of craniofacial microsomia with Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Background: Oculoauriculovertebral Spectrum (OAVS) encompasses abnormalities on derivatives from the first and second pharyngeal arches including macrostomia, hemifacial microsomia, micrognathia, preauricular tags, ocular and vertebral anomalies. We present genetic findings on a three-generation family affected with macrostomia, preauricular tags and uni- or bilateral ptosis following an autosomal dominant pattern.
Methods: We generated whole genome sequencing data for the proband, affected parent and unaffected paternal grandparent followed by Sanger sequencing on 23 family members for the top 10 candidate genes: and We performed parent and sibling-based transmission disequilibrium tests and burden analysis via a penalized linear mixed model, for segregation and mutation burden respectively.
Fluorescence optical imaging feature selection with machine learning for differential diagnosis of selected rheumatic diseases.

Background And Objective: Accurate and fast diagnosis of rheumatic diseases affecting the hands is essential for further treatment decisions. Fluorescence optical imaging (FOI) visualizes inflammation-induced impaired microcirculation by increasing signal intensity, resulting in different image features. This analysis aimed to find specific image features in FOI that might be important for accurately diagnosing different rheumatic diseases.
