Acrodysostosis (ADO) is a rare form of peripheral dysostosis characterized by skeletal malformations, growth delays, short stature, and distinctive facial features caused by in part by underdeveloped (hypoplasia) of facial bones. Skeletal dysplasia is specific and includes disproportional short stature with short extremities and brachydactyly, multiple cone-shaped epiphyses, scoliosis or kyphosis with spinal stenosis, and advanced bone maturation. Herein, we are highlighting a case that presented with clinical features such as brachydactyly, delayed milestone, growth delay, muscle weakness and nasal hypoplasia.

Objective: Prenatal detection of complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) is extremely rare, but is of great clinical importance, since CCR can be causative of different congenital disorders. We present an exceptionally rare case of prenatally diagnosed Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (SCS) rising as a consequence of chromothripsis involving chromosomes 5, 7 and 11 and deletion of TWIST1 gene.
Case Report: Brachycephaly, hypertelorism, flat face, micrognathia, relative macroglossia and small posterior fossa were noted on ultrasound examination at 28th gestational week.

Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the gene are linked to a spectrum of syndromes that exhibit partial clinical overlap. Hemizygous loss-of-function variants are considered lethal in males, while heterozygous loss-of-function variants generally result in oro-facial-digital syndrome type 1. A reported phenotype, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2, was published once but remains controversial, with many specialists questioning its validity and arguing about its continued listing in the OMIM database.

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by growth retardation, psychomotor retardation, and distinctive facial features. It is primarily caused by mutations in CREBBP or EP300. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical manifestations and genetic analyses of two cases with RSTS.

Objective: Craniosynostoses are an underrecognized cause of intracranial hypertension (ICH), especially when associated with congenital syndromes. Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is a multisystem disorder with typical facial features and hepatobiliary, cardiac, vascular, skeletal, and ocular manifestations. The occurrence of craniosynostosis in ALGS is rare and can be associated with chronic ICH, requiring craniofacial surgery to increase the intracranial volume.
