The consanguineous parents of the patient with a homozygous PLCB4 deletion each harboured the heterozygous deletion, but did not present the ACS phenotype, further suggesting that ACS is not caused by PLCB4 haploinsufficiency. [rug.nl]

In addition to ACS, the patient harbouring a homozygous deletion presented with central apnoea, a phenotype that has not been previously reported in ACS patients. [iths.pure.elsevier.com]

It is caused by a developmental abnormality of the first and second pharyngeal arches and it is associated with great inter‐ and intra‐familial clinical variability, with some patients not presenting the typical phenotype of the syndrome. [ingentaconnect.com]

All mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, were not present in more than 10,000 control chromosomes, and resulted in amino-acid substitutions located in highly conserved protein domains. [arizona.pure.elsevier.com]

  OMIM : 58 Auriculocondylar syndrome (ARCND) is a rare craniofacial disorder involving first and second pharyngeal arch derivatives and includes the key features of micrognathia, temporomandibular joint and condyle anomalies, microstomia, prominent cheeks [malacards.org]

  Affected structures arise from cranial neural crest cells, a population of cells in the embryo that reside in the pharyngeal arches and give rise to most of the bone, cartilage and connective tissue of the face. [bv.fapesp.br]

  Both genes are predicted to function in the endothelin 1 (EDN1)-endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA) signalling pathway during the development of the pharyngeal arches. [ashg.org]

  Studies have indicated the essential role of endothelin 1 (EDN1) signaling through the endothelin receptor type A (EDNRA) in patterning the mandibular portion of the first pharyngeal arch. [genome.jp]

• No Pubic Hair

  Ex-amination of his genitalia revealed an enlarged phallus at genitaliaStage 3, pubic hair Stage 3, axillary hair Stage 1, and testicularvolumes of 23 ml on the right and 2 ml on the left. He had a raisedACTH of 90.1 ng/L (normal range 050 ng/L). [documents.tips]

• Prominent Cheeks

  Other frequently described features include prominent cheeks, cupped and posteriorly rotated ears, preauricular tags, and microstomia. [malacards.org]

  Part A DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.a.34337 Auriculo-condylar syndrome (ACS) is characterized by typical ears malformation (so-called "question mark" ears), prominent cheeks, microstomia, and abnormality of the temporomandibular joint and condyle of the mandible [semanticscholar.org]

• Suggestibility

  We suggest that PLCB4 and GNAI3 are core signaling molecules of the endothelin-1-distal-less homeobox 5 and 6 (EDN1-DLX5/DLX6) pathway. [arizona.pure.elsevier.com]

  Our results suggest that ACS and QME are a phenotypic continuum resulting from impaired EDN1-EDNRA signaling. You may contact the first author (during and after the meeting) at [ashg.org]

  The narrow distribution of mutations within protein space suggests that the mutations may result in dominantly interfering proteins, rather than haploinsufficiency. [rug.nl]

It was not associated with any soft tissue aberrations suggestive of any syndromic etiology. Aplasia is a rare anomaly and refers to the insufficient development of the mandibular condyle. True agenesis of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare. [jmedsoc.org]

It often appears during puberty affecting predominantly males. [6] The exact etiology of coronoid hyperplasia is not yet elucidated, but several theories have been postulated, including hyperactivity of the temporal muscle that causes reactive elongation [mjdrdypu.org]
