Brief Clinical Report

Autosomal Recessive Cleft Lip/Palate, Ectodermal Dysplasia, and Minor Acral Anomalies: Report of a Brazilian Family Antonio Richieri-Costa, Maria k i n e Guion-Almeida, Newton fieire-Maia, and Marta Pinheiro Servko de Gene'tica Clinica, Hospital de Pesquisa e Reabilitach de LesBes Labw-Palatais, Universidade de Scio Paulo, Bauru, SP, Brazil (A.R.-C.,M.L.G.-A.),and Departamento de Gene'tica, Universidade Federal do Parand, Curitiba, PR, Brazil ( M P . , N.F.-M,) We report on a Brazilian woman, born to consanguineous (first cousin) parents (F = 1/16) and presenting cleft lip/palate, ectodermal dysplasia, interdigital webbing, and other malformations. Parental consanguinity and possible recurrence in sibs suggest autosoma1 recessive inheritance. The nosologic aspects with the Martinez syndrome and with the Zlotogora-Ogur syndrome are discussed.

CLINICAL REPORT DMM (Fig. 11,the proposita 23 years old (IV-9;Fig. 21, was born in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, to a 30year-old G9P8A1 mother and her first cousin, 36-yearold husband. The family has a remote Portuguese origin. The pregnancy was normal. There was absence of trauma or exposure to toxic or infectious agents or to X-rays. Normal, term delivery. Birth measurements were not recorded. Bilateral cleft lip/palate was noted at 0 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc. birth. There was normal neuropsychological development. Ureteral stenosis was repaired at age 5 years. The KEY WORDS: cleft liplpalate, ectodermal outcomes of previous pregnancies were (1)three childysplasia, digital webbing, dren with bilateral cleft liplpalate (IV-3, IV-4, and Martinez syndrome, ZlotoIV-61,who died neonatally; (2) four normal and married gora-Ogur syndrome, autosons (IV-1,IV-5, IV-7, and IV-8),and (3) a first trimester soma1 recessive inheritance abortion (IV-2). Two relatives through the father's mother line had cleft lip (111-1) and cleft lip/palate (111-2). INTRODUCTION Clinical examination at age 22 years: height 160 cm (25th-50th centile), weight 50 kg (10th-25th centile), Ectodermal dysplasia (ED), cleft lip/palate (CUP), and limb anomalies have been reported as component manifestations of several conditions [Rosselli and Gulienetti, 1961; Freire-Maia, 1970; Bowen and Armstrong, 1976; Michels et al., 1978; Martinez et al., 1987; Zlotogora et al., 1987; Ogur and Yuksel, 1988; Rodini and Richieri-Costa, 1990a,b]. This paper describes a girl with an apparently new autosomal recessive syndrome which combines CL/P and ED of the subgroup 1-2-4, according to Freire-Maia's [1971, 19771 classification. When we consider the cluster of anomalies of the present patient and its cause, only 2 of the above mentioned conditions should be considered in the differential diagnosis, namely, the Zlotogora-Ogur and the Martinez syndromes.

Dermatoglyphics showed hypoplastic lines, and the digital patterns were W, L", Wd, Wd, and L" at right, and L", W, W, W, and L" at left. Ophthalmologic and hearing evaluation were normal. Sweat pore studies of the hypothenar region (direct counting, and in alginate and polyvinyl glue impression) showed decreased number of palmar creases, sparce and small pores (mean of 6 pores/cm2).Results of routine laboratory blood tests were normal. Orthopantomographies performed at 13 and 23 years (Fig. 5) showed delayed dental development, with persistence of deciduous teeth, mesiodens, oligodontia, and microdontia. The missing permanent teeth according to the Palmer dental classification were

Roentgenograms of the appendicular skeleton showed bilateral camptodactyly of toe 4, and mild hypoplasia of toe 5, signs already seen by clinical examination. SEM analysis of hair shafts revealed different structural changes (Fig. 6 ) . DISCUSSION The ectodermal dysplasia subgroup 1-2-4 of FreireMaia's classification [1971, 19771now consists of 8 con-

Richiei-Costa et al. [Zlotogora et al., 1987; Ogur and Yuksel, 1988; Zlotogora and Ogur, 1988; Fbdini and Richieri-Costa, 1990b1, and the other of the subgroup 1-2, the Martinez syndrome [Martinez et al., 19871, share some signs with the patient here described, namely, trichodysplasia, dental defects, dyshidrosis, and dysplastic skin anomalies, among other signs (Table I). The main differential signs present in the Zlotogora-Ogur syndrome include mental retardation, as well as nipple and ear anomalies which are absent in our patient. Our patient resembles the Martinez syndrome, however, differing with respect to many signs (Table I). Another equally important difference is the pattern of inheritance, presumably autosomal dominant in the Martinez syndrome, and probably autosomal recessive in the present family. Taking into account these differences, we would like to suggest that the present condition is an apparently hitherto undescribed “new” syndrome. A final comment seems to be necessary. Note that in the inbred sibship under investigation, 3 apparently affected sibs (IV-3, IV-4, and IV-6) only had bilateral cleft liplpalate as the proposita (IV-9) who also had a number of other signs. Since there are, in the same family, 2 other cases of lip/palate clefts (111-1and 111-21, it is possible to develop the following hypotheses:

ditions: the F6ra syndrome (regional ectodermal dysplasia with total bilateral cleft), Berlin syndrome (leucomelanoderma), Book dysplasia, congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis of Swanson, Lenz-Passarge dysplasia, Wesser-Vistnes ectodermal dysplasia with palatal paralysis, Johnson neuroectodermal syndrome [Johnson et al., 19831, and hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with focal sweating [Gorlin, 19881 [for the first 6 conditions, see Freire-Maia and Pinheiro, 19841. Cleft lip/palate and isolated cleft palate have been reported in the Fara syndrome and in the Johnson neuroectodermal syndrome, respectively, but the whole clinical picture of these conditions clearly distinguish them from the present one. Ectodermal dysplasia sensu lato, cleft lip/palate, and limb anomalies are part of some well known syndromes [Rapp and Hodgkin, 1968; Rosselli and Gulienetti, 1961; Freire-Maia, 1970; Bowen and Armstrong, 1976; Hay and Wells, 1976; Allanson and McGillivray, 1985; Rodini et al., 1990; Rodini and Richieri-Costa 1990aI. The phenotype of the patient here described prompts a clear distinction with all the above mentioned conditions. Two of the conditions with CL/P and ED, one of the subgroup 1-2-3-4, the Zlotogora-Ogur syndrome

1. There are 6 persons (111-1, 111-2, IV-3, IV-4, IV-6, and IV-9) affected with cleft lip/palate. The proposita (IV-9), besides the lip/palate malformation, also presents by coincidence (“concurrence”)a syndrome characterized by the other signs presented in Table I. This hypothesis seems to be rather improbable since a high recurrence risk is not generally expected in lip/palate clefts. 2. At least one or %and possibly all 3 sibs-would have had the syndrome if they had survived early infancy. With this hypothesis, the segregation rate would be 418. By eliminating the proposita, the corrected segregation rate would turn out to be 3/7, which does not depart significantly from the expected 114 ratio (p= 1.19;P > 0.20, one degree of freedom). The same is true with respect to the most conservative hypothesis (only one sib with the condition):corrected segregation rate of 1/7; p = 0.43; P > 0.50.
