Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS), a rare inherited disorder, is characterized by scalp and terminal limb defects. Several genes associated with Notch pathway mutations have led to AOS. Here, we report a Thai male newborn presenting with aplasia cutis congenita and absence of a right pulmonary artery, which is suggestive of AOS. This was confirmed by the identification of a novel missense mutation in DLL4, a heterozygous one base pair change at nucleotide 82 (c.82G>C, p.Gly28Arg), which is in N-terminal domain. This is the first DLL4-related AOS case with arterial defect.

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.

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by aplasia cutis congenita, cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, and terminal limb defects. Ocular associations have been rarely reported. We report a 6-month-old boy with AOS associated with refractory glaucoma, megalocornea, and anterior polar cataract.

Article Synopsis
- Adams-Oliver syndrome is a rare genetic condition marked by scalp defects and limb abnormalities, linked to mutations in specific genes.
- A recent study identified a new genetic variant that likely causes limb anomalies, predicting that it leads to a dysfunctional protein due to a significant change in its structure.
- The research highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches combining experimental and bioinformatics analyses to deepen the understanding of genetic disorders like Adams-Oliver syndrome and their varying impacts on patients.

Pathogenic variants in NOTCH1 are associated with non-syndromic congenital heart disease (CHD) and Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS). The clinical presentation of individuals with damaging NOTCH1 variants is characterized by variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance; however, data on systematic phenotypic characterization are limited. We report the genotype and phenotype of a cohort of 33 individuals (20 females, 13 males; median age 23.

We report the case of a newborn with aplasia cutis congenita characterized by the absence of skin in the left parietal region, superficial dilatation of the scalp veins, facial dysmorphia, limb anomalies, and severe intrauterine growth retardation. Maternal milk enabled the baby to gain weight, and dermatological treatment was performed for scarring of the vertex. Psychomotor development and stature were spectacular.
