In this report, we present four children (3 males, 1 female) from two families who were aged between 4 11/12 and 10 11/12 years and had clinical findings of 3M syndrome. [mendeley.com]
All the patients presented skeletal abnormalities with various severities such as lumbar lordosis, hyperextensible joints, short thorax, square shoulders, hip dislocation, and prominent heels. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
- Short Stature
Physicians should be aware of this entity in the differential diagnosis of children with severe short stature and mild skeletal changes. © Journal of Clinical Research in Pediatric Endocrinology, Published by Galenos Publishing. 3m syndrome Short stature [mendeley.com]

3-M syndrome is a disorder that causes skeletal abnormalities including short stature (dwarfism) and unusual facial features. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Description 3-M syndrome is a disorder that causes skeletal abnormalities including short stature (dwarfism) and unusual facial features. [medlineplus.gov]
Physicians should be aware of this entity in the differential diagnosis of children with severe short stature and mild skeletal changes. [jcrpe.org]
- Male Hypogonadism
Male hypogonadism and hypospadias. [nature.com]
Males with three M syndrome have hypogonadism and occasionally hypospadias. Diagnosis/testing. The diagnosis of three M syndrome is established in a proband with characteristic clinical and radiographic features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Developmental Delay
Although Dubowitz syndrome is also inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, it can be differentiated from 3M by the presence of typical facial features, eczema, microcephaly, and developmental delay. [nature.com]
Skin
- Hirsutism
Fetal alcohol syndrome: Microcephaly decreased subcutaneous fat, hirsutism, nail hypoplasia, facial appearance, and mental retardation with significant behavioural problems are the primary features, and these allow differentiation from 3M syndrome. [nature.com]
[…] disability Mulibrey nanism (OMIM 253250) TRIM37 AR IUGR IUGR often less severe than in infants w/3-M Characteristic facial features (high forehead, pseudo-hydrocephalic skull configuration) Fetal alcohol syndrome NA NA IUGR Microcephaly ↓ subcutaneous fat Hirsutism [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Eczema
Although Dubowitz syndrome is also inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, it can be differentiated from 3M by the presence of typical facial features, eczema, microcephaly, and developmental delay. [nature.com]
Dubowitz syndrome (OMIM 223370) Unknown AR IUGR Microcephaly Eczema Characteristic facial features (small face w/sloping forehead, broad nasal bridge, shallow supraorbital ridge, broad nasal tip, short palpebral fissures, telecanthus, ptosis, dysplastic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
- Dolichocephaly
In most cases, premature closure of fibrous joints (sagittal sutures) between certain bones (parietal bones) of the skull may restrict lateral growth of the head, causing it to appear abnormally long and narrow (dolichocephaly). [rarediseases.org]
- Lordosis
All the patients presented skeletal abnormalities with various severities such as lumbar lordosis, hyperextensible joints, short thorax, square shoulders, hip dislocation, and prominent heels. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Large Hand
Mulibrey nanism: includes prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency with relatively large hands, triangular faces with frontal bossing and depressed nasal bridge, small tongue, yellowish dots on the fundus, and pericardial constriction. [nature.com]

Treatment
Treatment The resources below provide information about treatment options for this condition. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
In general, the response to treatment is modest, however a trial of treatment over 1 year (GH doses of 35-45 microgram/kg/day with monitoring of serum IGF-I levels) may show a reasonable response. In this case, r-hGH should be continued long-term. [orpha.net]

Prognosis
Prognosis 3M syndrome is not a life-threatening condition and the prognosis is good. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
The issues of fertility should be discussed with male patients at the end of puberty and semen analysis offered.[4] 3-M syndrome is not a life-treating condition and the prognosis is good. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis (please describe): Short stature (−5 to −6 s.d.) [nature.com]
Etiology
Etiology Mutations in the CUL7 gene (6p21.1) are most often responsible for 3M syndrome (67% of cases). Other causal mutations include those in the OBSL1 gene (2q35), in 28% of cases, or the CCDC8 gene (19q13.33), in 5% of cases. [orpha.net]
Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Approximately 200 cases have been reported to date but as the condition is likely under-recognized, the true figure is probably higher. [orpha.net]
Prevention
If the test result is positive (please describe): If the test result is negative (please describe): Yes for management of the growth retardation and prevention of recurrence if positive. [nature.com]
Knowing more about the underlying mechanism can reveal new possibilities for treatment and prevention of genetic disorders like 3-M syndrome. [en.wikipedia.org]

Mutations in the CUL7 or OBSL1 gene prevent the cullin-7 protein from bringing together the components of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, interfering with the process of tagging unneeded proteins for degradation. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
