Presentation
A subset of patients present with hypothalamic hamartoma that has never been reported in other JSRD subgroups. [rareguru.com]
This case presented with findings of both OFDS types II and IV. [hindawi.com]
Conclusion Orofaciodigital syndrome type-VI, a rare genetic disease with poor prognosis, should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in neonates presenting with episodic tachypnea especially if poly (syn) dactyly is present and meticulous [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because of phenotypic overlap, Pallister–Hall syndrome (PHS) is considered as one of differential diagnoses.[1,4] Clinico-radiological features that distinguish the syndromes are bifid epiglottis, imperforate anus, insertional-polydactyly and lethal airway-anomalies [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Short Stature
Some patients are mentally retarded and short stature is common. Genetics: Only a few families have been reported and the transmission patterns suggest autosomal recessive disease. Gene studies have identified at least two mutations among families. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Features often include cleft lip or palate, lumps on the tongue, extra skin tissue in the mouth, abnormally shaped or missing teeth, extra fingers and toes, poor growth or short stature, and facial differences most often affecting the eyes including strabismus [globalgenes.org]
Sabry et al. (1997) concluded that the common features among OFD VI and C Syndrome consisted of small penis and testes, short stature/failure to thrive, strabismus, ear abnormality, and hypotonia. [cags.org.ae]

[…] was 1750 g (SGA), length 42 cm (<5th centile), OFC 32 cm (<5th centile), and respiratory rate was 42/min with episodic panting type of respiration, with rate up to 100/min lasting for 1-3 minutes, followed by apnea for 12-15 s without bradycardia or cyanosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Eyes
- Abnormal Eye Movement
However, orofacial features were minimal with the absence of cleft-lip/palate and abnormal ocular movements whereas the metacarpal findings were remarkable. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Treatment of orofaciodigital syndrome type 1 There is no specific treatment for this syndrome. Treatment is directed at the problems encountered in an individual. [dermnetnz.org]
Treatment Treatment Options: No specific treatment is available for this syndrome but individual signs and symptoms may need treatment. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Research is ongoing, so talk with your child’s doctor about the most current treatment options. Support groups are also good sources of support and information. [globalgenes.org]
Prognosis
Nothing is known about the prognosis. Most individuals require lifelong monitoring with intervention as needed for breathing difficulties, heart problems, cleft lip and palate, and cosmesis. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
The importance of early accurate diagnosis of this rare disease for proper genetic counseling and prenatal case detection of pregnancy at risk is also emphasized as the prognosis is poor in almost all cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Etiology Two OFD6 patients, including one fetus, were found to carry a homozygous mutation in the TMEM216 gene (11q13.1), but mutations in this gene were excluded in several other patients, and the genetic basis of this condition still remains elusive [rareguru.com]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown. Clinical description Typical oral findings include bifid or lobulated tongue, lingual hamartomas and multiple oral frenulae, but cleft lip and/or palate can also be present. [rareguru.com]

Prevention
Mutations in the OFD1 gene prevent cells from making enough functional OFD1 protein, which disrupts the normal development of these structures. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Mutations in the OFD1 gene prevent cells from making enough functional OFD1 protein, which disrupts the normal development of these structures [3,4]. Diagnosis of OFD syndrome type I when suspected, may be confirmed by genetic testing [5]. [aclr.com.es]
