Abstract
Roberts syndrome (RBS; OMIM 268300) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by retardation before and after birth, cranial and maxillofacial deformities, limb anomalies and intellectual disability. Mutations in the establishment of cohesion 1 homologue 2 (ESCO2) gene on chromosome 8p21.1 have been found to be causative for RBS. We describe two patients with RBS with physical deformities and ll. One is an 8-year-old Yemeni male, and the other is his 13-year-old sister. These patients were diagnosed with RBS and underwent surgeries during their first to third years of life. Here, we present the cases for the two patients, focusing specifically on their surgical management and outcomes. Additionally, by reviewing the literature on RBS, we also summarize the proper surgical interventions for this rare disease. This paper describes the long-term follow-up of two patients with severe deformities who benefitted from corrective surgeries. The findings of this study indicate that patients who survive infancy and reach adulthood, even patients who present with severe disease symptoms, can benefit from corrective surgeries and lead better lives.

Abstract
In a previously published article (Resta et al., 2006) on Robert's syndrome in prenatal diagnosis, a case of a 36-year-old woman and her 36-year-old, nonconsanguineous husband were presented. Our findings suggest the existence of nonsense mediated decay (NMD) variability which could account for the varying severity reported in carriers of identical mutations. Furthermore, fetal cells were used to evaluate the influence of premature centromere separation (PCS) on the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) and micronucleus (MN) frequency. Given the similar variation observed in the SCE frequencies, dependent on tissue/cell type (amniotic fluid sample, chorionic villus sampling) and duration of in vitro cultures (48 hours or 72 hours), the idea was that this new piece of information could be interesting. It seems that the SCE frequency increased proportionally to the cell cycle increasing (1 degrees < 2 degrees < 3 degrees ... n). Obviously, our observations are too scarce to draw conclusions, but further investigation could be useful to corroborate or dispute these results, considering that the two techniques, (MN and SCE), are simple to perform and do not require expensive laboratory equipment.

Abstract
An increased number of chromosome plates can be obtained by use of calyculin A (CLA). CLA is an inhibitor of protein phosphatases (type 1 and type 2A serine/threonine). Inactivation of these phosphatases leads to premature chromosome condensation (PCC) in all phases of the cell cycle; thus, it is possible to investigate both metaphase and G(2)-PCC chromosomes. Amniotic fluid (AF) cultures were treated with calyculin A (CLA). GTG banding was obtained. Using this method it is possible to investigate all cell cycle phases, GTG banding, chromosomal breaks, and rates of PCD on the same preparation. Analyses of AF cultures treated with CLA allow complex studies on fetal genetic material. This work presents potential usefulness of CLA for cytogenetic prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract
This is a 3-year retrospective study of 107 cases presenting with limb anomalies detected either on prenatal ultrasound scan, or after birth. These limb malformations are developmental anomalies, and can be isolated, syndromic, or associated with multiple malformations. Cases were ascertained through the prenatal diagnosis center, the pediatrics department, and the feto-pathology department. Several criteria were analyzed including sex ratio, prenatal diagnosis, karyotype, termination of pregnancies, clinical or pathological examination, pediatric or surgical and/or genetic assessment, and whether or not a diagnosis was made. Positional deformities and syndactyly were excluded. Limb anomalies were detected prenatally in 45% of the cases, and a diagnosis was made in 78%, including isolated, syndromic, or chromosomal anomalies. Sixty-one per cent of the infants had follow-up, either pediatric, surgical, or genetic. Prenatal multidisciplinary assessment is fundamental to assist with counseling, as is the post-natal follow-up of the infant. The diagnosis, if made, will obviously influence the information that will be given to the parents and the management of the malformation. If the pregnancy is terminated, feto-pathological examination is essential to help make a diagnosis, and guide recurrence risks. We are currently undertaking a prospective study, and we will develop a protocol of investigations in the future, depending on the type of the malformation identified.

Abstract
We report the second trimester prenatal diagnosis of severe symmetrical limb deficiencies with posterior fossa cyst and cardiac anomaly in a female fetus. Fetopathological examination revealed additional anomalies: renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, cleft palate, and Müllerian duct anomaly. The spectrum of congenital malformations in the present observation is difficult to classify into a single syndrome entity and presents an overlap with several syndromes: Roberts syndrome, Goldston syndrome, and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia.

Abstract
The Roberts-SC phocomelia syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder clinically manifested by tetraphocomelia, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, and craniofacial abnormalities (skull, eyes, lip, and palate), accompanied at times by centromer puffing and splitting, renal abnormalities, heart defect, clitoral or penile enlargement, and bilateral corneal opacities. Mental retardation is common in surviving patients.

Abstract
Roberts syndrome (RS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by heterogeneous clinical features, the most notable being tetraphocomelia, cleft lip, and cleft palate. Cells derived from most RS patients exhibit abnormal cytogenetic and cellular phenotypes that include the premature separation of para- and pericentromeric heterochromatin visible on C-banded metaphase chromosomes, a phenomenon referred to as heterochromatic splaying. Previously, it was shown that these abnormal phenotypes can be complemented following somatic cell hybridization between RS cells and control cells. In the current study, a permanent cell line was established from a new RS patient with a more severe phenotype than represented by previously established cells in culture. With a newly developed assay designed to facilitate rapid evaluation of in vitro complementation, we assigned this new patient to the same genetic complementation group defined by other, less severely affected patients. The results demonstrate that a single complementation group defines RS patients with heterochromatic splaying regardless of clinical severity.

Abstract
We report a 4 year old boy in whom the clinical features of craniosynostosis and bilateral absent radii led to a diagnosis of Baller-Gerold syndrome. Additional congenital abnormalities included midface hypoplasia, atrial and ventricular septal defects, right hydronephrosis, partial sacral agenesis, and anterior ectopic anus. Evidence of portal venous hypertension was present from 8 months and a congenital portal venous malformation was discovered at 2 years. This is the first reported case of Baller-Gerold syndrome associated with a congenital portal venous malformation. We discuss the diagnostic confusion between this syndrome and other overlapping malformation syndromes and propose optimal evaluation strategies aimed at clarifying the nosology of these syndromes.
