Opitz trigonocephaly C syndrome in a boy with a de novo balanced reciprocal translocation t(3;18)(q13.13;q12.1)
2006
Opitz trigonocephaly C syndrome (OTCS) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by trigonocephaly, mental retardation, a typical facial appearance, redundant skin, joint and limb abnormalities, and visceral anomalies. We describe a patient with the manifestations of OTCS who also had a de novo balanced reciprocal translocation t(3;18)(q13.13q12.1). His phenotype is a mild form with mild developmental delay and no severe visceral anomalies. Our findings suggest the possible existence of a new locus responsible for OTCS either on 3q13.13 or 18q12.1. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
