We report on a patient with Frank-Ter Haar syndrome that is associated with high intraocular pressures. A 21-day-old male patient was referred to our clinic for surgical treatment of congenital glaucoma. On ophthalmic examination, he had buphthalmos, mild corneal edema and high IOP readings in both eyes. The patient underwent uneventful trabeculotomy surgery, bilaterally. Marked bilateral anterior iris insertion was noted during the surgery. Childhood glaucoma may be associated with Frank-Ter Haar syndrome.

Frank-Ter Haar syndrome (FTHS) is a rare genetic hereditary autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective malformation of cardiovascular, craniofacial, and skeletal system. Mutations in the SH3PXD2B gene are a common cause in the development of FTHS. We recruited a family with two affected individuals (3-year-old female and 2-month-old male infant) having bilateral clubfoot.

Article Synopsis
- Ventricular septal defects (VSDs) are common congenital heart diseases, making up about 40% of cardiac malformations and can occur alone or with other defects.
- The genetic causes of VSD are complex, involving chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations, including known syndromes like DiGeorge and Holt-Oram.
- Recent advancements like comparative genomic hybridization have revealed numerous copy number variations linked to VSD, highlighting the genetic diversity in affected patients.

Background: The scaffold protein tyrosine kinase substrate 4 (TKS4) undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation by the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway via Src kinase. The TKS4 deficiency in humans is responsible for the manifestation of a genetic disorder known as Frank-Ter Haar syndrome (FTHS). Based on our earlier investigation, the absence of TKS4 triggers migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-like phenomena while concurrently suppressing cell proliferation in HCT116 colorectal carcinoma cells.

Article Synopsis
- - Frank-Ter Haar syndrome, Winchester syndrome, Torg syndrome, and MONA are progressive skeletal disorders characterized by acro-osteolysis, linked to mutations in certain genes (MMP2, MMP14, SH3PXD2B).
- - A case study highlights a 5-year-old girl with severe limb deformities and other physical symptoms associated with a novel mutation in the MMP2 gene, tied to her condition.
- - The study emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation of patients with congenital heart defects, as they may indicate underlying genetic multisystem disorders, suggesting that early detection can help avoid mismanagement.
