✦ Synopsis

We report on two boys, monozygotic twins born to normal and nonconsanguineous parents, presenting with an unusual facial appearance, cortical atrophy, dolichocephaly, short stature, cleft palate, micrognathia, prominent upper central incisors, bilateral Sidney line, minor foot deformities, unstableness in walking, early hypotonia, hyperreflexia, hyperactivity, psychomotor retardation, and severe delay in language development. These manifestations resemble those previously described in the Smith-Fineman-Myers syndrome.

Deletions within chromosome band 22q11.2 are associated with a variety of conditions, although a simple genotype-phenotype correlation has not been established so far. Environmental factors, chance events, or a second hit theory were supported by two observations of monozygotic twins with 22q11.2 de

We report on a pair of monozygotic twins with probable Baller-Gerold syndrome (BGS). Twin A had severe coronal craniosynostosis. Twin B had right radioulnar and ipsilateral first metacarpal hypoplasia. Both had bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly. Assuming that the twins were truly monozygotic, a si

The oral-facial-digital syndrome type 1 (OFD1) includes limb, facial, intraoral malformations and the gene for the disorder was recently mapped to Xp22.3-p22.2. We report on monozygotic twin girls discordant for OFD1. Monozygosity is supported by placental pathology (monochorionic diamniotic) and mo
