We report four individuals from two unrelated consanguineous families with 3MC syndrome. In the first family, chromosome microarray data revealed that the two affected sisters, born to first-cousin parents, shared a unique homozygous C-terminal deletion in the COLEC11 gene. Two affected brothers from a second family, also born to first-cousin parents, shared a region of homozygosity that included the second gene known to cause the 3MC syndrome, MASP1. We discuss the diagnostic approach of craniofacial disorders born to consanguineous parents and highlight a literature search and reference a helpful dysmorphology solution powered by FDNA (Facial Dysmorphology Novel Analysis) technology.

Malpuech-Michels-Mingarelli-Carnevale (3MC) syndrome, is a rare genetic condition resulting from the combination of four autosomal recessive syndromes which were classified as separate syndromes earlier. 3MC syndrome may be accompanied by a range of other conditions including cleft lips and palate, blepharophimosis, blepharoptosis, downward-sloping palpebral fissures, hypertelorism, facial dysmorphism such as high arched eyebrows, growth retardation, hearing impairment, genital anomalies, elongated coccyx, caudal appendage, radioulnar synostosis and skeletal conditions such as craniosynostosis. The prominent causes of 3MC syndrome include homozygous mutations in the MASP1, COLEC10, or COLEC11 genes.

CD20 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) eliminate B cells in several clinical contexts. At least two of these Abs, obinutuzumab (OBI) and rituximab (RTX), induce quick elimination of targets and put cancer patients at risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) within 12-24 h of the first dose. The mechanisms of killing can require the recruiting of effector mechanisms from the patient's immune system, but they can induce direct killing as well.

The 3MC syndromes types 1-3 (MIM#257920, 265050 and 248340, respectively) are rare autosomal recessive genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding the lectin complement pathway. Patients with 3MC syndrome have a distinctive facial phenotype including hypertelorism, highly arched eyebrows and ptosis. A significant number of patients have bilateral cleft lip and palate and they often exhibit genitourinary and skeletal anomalies.

Complement factor D (FD) is a serine protease that plays an essential role in the activation of the alternative pathway (AP) by cleaving complement factor B (FB) and generating the C3 convertases C3(H O)Bb and C3bBb. FD is produced mainly from adipose tissue and circulates in an activated form. On the contrary, the other serine proteases of the complement system are mainly synthesized in the liver.

Bi-allelic variants in COLEC11 and MASP1 have been associated with 3MC syndrome, a clinical entity made of up four rare autosomal recessive disorders: Carnevale, Mingarelli, Malpuech, and Michels syndromes, characterized by variable expression of facial dysmorphia, cleft lip/palate, postnatal growth deficiency, hearing loss, cognitive impairment, craniosynostosis, radioulnar synostosis, and genital and vesicorenal anomalies. More recently, bi-allelic variants in COLEC10 have been described to be associated with 3MC syndrome. Syndromic features seen in 3MC syndrome are thought to be due to disruption of the chemoattractant properties that influence neural crest cell migration.
