Suggestibility
Most of the other forms of oral-facial-digital syndrome are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which suggests that both copies of a causative gene in each cell have mutations. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
The presence of the MTS is intriguing and suggests a possible link with JS. His younger sister displayed a similar phenotype worsened by the presence of cardiac malformation leading to neonatal death [43]. [ciliajournal.biomedcentral.com]

Hypertelorism
Distinctive facial features often associated with oral-facial-digital syndrome include a split in the lip (a cleft lip); a wide nose with a broad, flat nasal bridge; and widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism). [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Case 1 was born to healthy consanguineous parents and displayed midline defects including hypertelorism, midline clefts and severe choanal stenosis, left hand postaxial polydactyly and eye abnormalities (right microphthalmia, left anophthalmia, bilateral [ciliajournal.biomedcentral.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]
