The deformity is characterized by predominantly asymmetrical hypoplasia of struc- tures derived from the first and second pharyngeal arches, leading to a distinct scoliosis of the facial skeleton. The first pharyngeal arch gives rise to the mandible, maxilla, zygoma, trigeminal nerve, muscles of mastication, and the inner ear and a part of the external ear, whereas the second pharyngeal arch gives rise to the facial nerve, stapes, styloid process, portions of the hyoid bone, facial musculature, and the majority of the external ear.7 Other anomalies seen in patients with CFM include malformations of the vertebrae, cervical spine, cardiorespiratory system, urogenital system, limbs, central nervous system and gastrointestinal system. Most often reported are skeletal, cardiac and renal anomalies. CFM is most often regarded as a unilateral malformation; however, facial structures have been reported to be involved bilaterally in 10% of cases.8-10 Previous studies suggested that, in most cases, the contralateral side is abnormal as well, although not truly hypoplastic.10-15 The etiology of CFM has not yet been clarified. Well-known hypotheses are local haemorrhage of the stapedial artery16 and disturbed migration of cranial neural crest cells.17,18 Several possible genes, proteins and or pathway signalling disregulations have been suggested including BPAX1, Foxi3 and loss of Hedgehog signaling.16-19 However, an increased risk is found in a history of multiple pregnancies, second-trimester vaginal bleeding and risk factors associated with poverty.4 Leading to the believe that the etiology might include genetic and non-genetic factors, in line with an oligogenic or even a multifactorial etiology.7 Although CFM usually occurs sporadically, familial cases compatible with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive patterns of inheritance have been described. Patients with CFM are phenotypically heterogeneous; their dysmorphologies range from minor to severe. Therefore, a comprehensive classification is needed to describe the severity of the different anomalies to ensure clear communication among physicians in various specialties and researchers. The Pruzansky classification was the first of such systems, which was later subcategorized by

Recently, MYT1, encoding the myelin transcription factor 1, was reported as the first gene involved in OAVS, within the retinoic acid (RA) pathway. Fifty-seven OAVS patients originating from Brazil were screened for MYT1 variants. A novel de novo missense variant affecting function, c.323C4T (p. (Ser108Leu)), was identified in MYT1, in a patient presenting with a severe form of OAVS. Functional studies showed that MYT1 overexpression downregulated all RA receptors genes (RARA, RARB, RARG), involved in RA-mediated transcription, whereas no effect was observed on CYP26A1 expression, the major enzyme involved in RA degradation, Moreover, MYT1 variants impacted significantly the expression of these genes, further supporting their pathogenicity. In conclusion, a third variant affecting function in MYT1 was identified as a cause of OAVS. Furthermore, we confirmed MYT1 connection to RA signaling pathway.

  • Goldenhar Syndrome
    orphananesthesia Anaesthesia recommendations for patients suffering from Goldenhar syndrome Disease name: Goldenhar syndrome ICD 10: Q87.0 Synonyms: Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral (OAV) syndrome / sequence, Facio-Auriculo-Vertebral syndrome, Goldenhar-Gorlin syndrome In 1952, Maurice Goldenhar published a case collection of congenital mandibulo-facial malformations with or without epibulbar dermoids, auricular appendages and auricular fistulas. With the attempt to systematically classify these malformations, he described for the first time what later became known as the Goldenhar syndrome. Goldenhar syndrome is a variant of the Oculo-Auriculo-Vertebral spectrum. It consists of hemifacial microsomia (HFM), epibulbar dermoids and vertebral anomalies. Major manifestations of HFM are orbital distortion, mandibular hypoplasia, ear anomalies, nerve involvement and soft tissue deficiency (OMENS classification). In addition, patients with Goldenhar syndrome can present with heart, kidney and lung malformations as well as limb deformities. Depending on the organs affected and the severity of the malformations the phenotype is highly variable (Table). The exact cause of Goldenhar syndrome is unknown but considered to be multifactorial, i.e. a combination of gene interactions and environmental factors that causes a maldevelopment of the first and second branchial arches during the first trimester of pregnancy. Males are affected more often than females (3:2). About 10-30% of patients have bilateral, usually asymmetric facial microsomia. There is no agreement

  • The Association of Facial Palsy And/Or Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients with Hemifacial Microsomia
    The Association of Facial Palsy and/or Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients with Hemifacial Microsomia Mara K. Bassica, M.D. RosaLie GoLpsBERG, M.S. Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a common craniofacial disorder that is known to be etiologically heterogenous. Phenotypic differentiation of the var- ious subgroups remains unresolved. A review of 50 patients with HFM has yielded data that may help explain different pathogenetic processes. Of partic- ular interest is the association of facial nerve palsy, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), or both in a higher percentage of patients than expected. Twenty-two percent had evidence of facial palsy of varying degree. Thirty-three cases had microtia or anotia, and all instances of facial palsy were associated with auric- ular malformation. Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 16 percent. All patients with microtia and sensorineural hearing loss had facial palsy. Ear tags or pits were found in 21 patients, only two of whom had facial palsy. In all but one case the palsy was found on the more hypoplastic side of the face. In the single exception, both sides of the face were hypoplastic. KEY WORDS: hemifacial microsomia, facial paresis, sensorineural hearing loss, microtia The term hemifacial microsomia was first used by Gorlin complete. All 50 of the patients had undergone a complete et al in 1963 to refer to patients with unilateral microtia, pediatric, dysmorphologic and genetic work-up.

Dr. Maurice Goldenhar, a French ophthalmologist, first described the condition in 1952. Goldenhar syndrome is a rare congenital (present at birth) disorder that is characterized by incomplete development of the ear, eye, nose, soft palate, lip, and jaw. These physical differences have a range in severity. Another name for Goldenhar syndrome is oculoauriculo‐vertebral spectrum. This name describes the common structural problems seen with the eyes, ears, and vertebrae. The term oculo represents the eye, auriculo represents the ear, and vetebral stands for the physical problems present in the vertebrae or the bones of the spinal column. Goldenhar syndrome occurs in one of every 3,000 to 5,000 live births. Males are affected more frequently than females. This syndrome is seen in all ethnic groups and cultures. What are the Features of Goldenhar Syndrome? The physical differences are typically limited to the head and bones of the spinal column and may be severe or mild. In some cases, the changes are seen on both sides of the face (bilateral). In other cases, the changes are limited to one side of the face (unilateral). It is more likely that the right side of the individual’s face will be more affected. Facial Features: The facial bones, including the jaw bones (mandible) and cheek bones (maxilla), can be underdeveloped (hypoplasia).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The aetiology of hemifacial microsomia is uncertain; vascular, metabolic, teratogenic and genetic factors have been proposed as aetiological influences. The evidence for a genetic basis comes from observations of the phenotype in individuals carrying chromosomal rearrangements, and from a small number of studies involving families in whom the condition appeared to be transmitted in a Mendelian fashion. Malformations reminiscent of hemifacial microsomia have also been seen in knockout and mutant animal models, and these have given rise to a number of candidate genes for the disease. Two main objectives were defined at the start of this project.
