EEC syndrome is characterized by ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly and cleft lip and/or palate and associated anomalies such as lacrimal duct obstruction, urinary tract anomaly, and hearing loss. This syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous mutations in the p63 gene. Herein, a newborn infant with EEC syndrome with secundum atrial septal defect who had a de novo mutation (c.953G > A) on exon 7 of p63 gene is presented.

Article Synopsis
- A male newborn was found to have low TREC values, indicating T cell lymphopenia, and genetic testing revealed a mutation linked to Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC).
- This case underscores the importance of further research on the immune system issues related to mutations in the TP63 gene, suggesting that patients with such mutations should undergo thorough immunological assessments.

Article Synopsis
- - Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-cleft lip/palate (EEC) syndrome affects ectodermal and mesodermal tissues, leading to issues like split hands/feet, ectodermal dysplasia, and orofacial clefting, requiring a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
- - A case study details a young child with EEC syndrome who developed a peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) in the lower jaw, which was surgically removed and followed up for 24 months with no recurrence.
- - The findings emphasize the crucial role of dentists in diagnosing and managing oral health issues associated with EEC syndrome.

Deviations from normal craniofacial development can result in a range of abnormalities, including cleft lip and/or palate, either as standalone conditions or as components of syndromes with varying clinical characteristics. The ability to distinguish between isolated incidents and syndromes with clefts as one component is integral to achieving accurate diagnosis and therapy. The following case presentation highlights the importance of comprehensive screening and differential diagnosis in identifying syndromic connections in patients with cleft lip and palate.

Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a Mexican family with two different genetic disorders linked to a specific pathogenic variant: the son has ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC3), while the father has acro-dermato-ungual-lacrimal-tooth (ADULT) syndrome.
- Clinical presentations showed the son with features like ectodermal defects and tetramelic ectrodactyly, and the father with severe nasolacrimal duct obstruction and dental issues, both carrying the same genetic variant.
- The findings highlight the variability of genetic disorders within families and emphasize the importance of considering these differences in genetic counseling, specifically how the p
