AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between Robin Sequence and blood types (ABO and RhD) using a cohort of 339 patients from a Brazilian hospital.
- Significant differences were found in AB blood type distributions between genders, with males who had Robin Sequence showing a higher prevalence compared to their control counterparts.
- The findings suggest a potential link between these blood group phenotypes and Robin Sequence, indicating the need for further molecular research.
Article Abstract
Background: This study investigated the association of Robin Sequence with ABO and RhD blood group phenotypes.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed of a cohort of Robin Sequence patients of the Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais - Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil. The study group was composed of 339 individuals of both genders with Robin Sequence referred for specific treatment. A control group was composed of 1780 individuals without syndromes. The groups were compared using the Pearson' chi-square test ( ) with statistical significance being defined for an alpha error of 5% (-value < 0.05).
Results: A comparison of gender found a significant difference for the AB phenotype between groups (-value = 0.007). Comparing blood type by gender there was no significant difference within the same group (-value = 0.117 and 0.388 respectively, for Robin Sequence and the control group). When comparing the AB blood type between groups, there was no difference for females (-value = 0.577), but there was a significant difference for males (-value = 0.0029).
Conclusions: This study showed that the population with Robin Sequence had different patterns related to gender concerning the phenotypic distribution of ABO and RhD blood group phenotypes. Robin Sequence is more common among females. The AB phenotype was significantly higher in males with Robin Sequence than in males of the Control Group. The prevalence of the RhD-negative phenotype is higher in individuals with Robin Sequence. This result suggests a possible association of ABO and RhD phenotypes with Robin Sequence that should be better investigated by molecular studies, as it deserves greater attention.

SOX9 encodes an SRY-related transcription factor critical for chondrogenesis and sex determination among other processes. Loss-of-function variants cause campomelic dysplasia and Pierre Robin Sequence, while both gain- and loss-of-function variants cause disorders of sex development. SOX9 has also been linked to scoliosis and cancers, but variants are undetermined.

Facial nerve dysfunction (FND) is a well-recognized but poorly documented complication of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) for Robin sequence (RS). This study aims to document the authors' experiences with FND and identify risk factors associated with this adverse event. A retrospective review of a prospectively gathered database was performed to identify patients with RS who underwent MDO at the authors' institution from March 2016 to June 2023.
