Abstract
We report on a young girl with polysyndactyly, coarctation of the aorta, and tongue hamartomas. These features are similar to those reported in individuals with variant forms of orofaciodigital syndrome known as congenital heart defects, hamartomas of the tongue and polysyndactly (CHDHTP: OMIM 217085) [Örstavik et al., 1992] and orocardiodigital syndrome [Digilio et al., 1996]. Whole exome sequencing revealed that she is a compound heterozygote for a frame shift mutation and a likely pathogenic sequence variant in WDPCP, a gene that regulates planar cell polarity and ciliogenesis. Results of genotyping in her parents and unaffected siblings were consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance of the mutation and the WDPCP variant. These results suggest that disruption of planar cell polarity and ciliogenesis may result in this unusual form of orofaciodigital syndrome.

Abstract
The oral-facial-digital (OFD) syndrome is a heterogeneous group of abnormalities that share anomalies of the oral cavity, face and digits of hands and feet. On the basis of other anomalies of brain, kidneys, limbs, eyes and other organs, at least 13 subgroups have been described. We here describe four unrelated patients with this syndrome, who have the typical facial, oral and digital anomalies and also anomalies of other organs and systems. Facial features, digital malformations, as well as the existence of additional malformations all of which can be classified into different subgroups. The report points out the difficulty in delineation of the subtypes of OFD syndrome because of the overlapping features between OFD subgroups.

Abstract
Orofaciodigital syndromes (OFDS) are a group of diseases classified according to the phenotype and the mode of inheritance. We report on a female patient with ocular hypertelorism, broad nasal root, midline cleft of the upper lip, lobulated tongue, polydactyly of both hands, polysyndactyly of the right big toe and fifth toe, and polydactyly of the left foot. These clinical manifestations resembled OFDS type I. Other associated features included congenital heart defect, bilateral hydronephrosis, and vaginal atresia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of OFDS with vaginal atresia.

Abstract
The oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFDS) result from the pleiotropic effect of a morphogenetic impairment affecting almost invariably the mouth, face and digits. Other organ systems can be involved, defining specific types of OFDS. To date, 13 types have been distinguished based on characteristic clinical manifestations. An updated list of these types is provided and recent molecular data are discussed.

Abstract
Orofaciodigital syndromes (OFD) are a group of diseases classified according to the phenotype and the mode of inheritance. We report on a fetus presenting with some features of the OFDs but with additional global cerebral dysgenesis. Ultrasonography at 19 weeks of pregnancy disclosed hypoplasia of the cerebral hemispheres with a large intrahemispheric cyst, as well as dysmorphic facial features and brachy-syndactyly IV-V. Fetal brain MRI confirmed these features and disclosed additional morphological anomalies: Agenesis of the vermis, complete agenesis of the corpus callosum, pachygyria of the left hemisphere. Pathological examination showed a disproportionate fetus with large head and short limbs. Dysmorphic features included hypertelorism, broad nasal root, long philtrum, severe micrognathia, microstomia, cleft palate, and lobulated tongue. Radiographs showed distal malformations of the four limbs. Neuropathological examination showed a severe disturbance of the architecture of both hemispheres, more severe on the right side, with four cystic structures located between the hemispheres. Olfactory stalks, mammillary bodies, and midline structures were absent. Cerebellum and brainstem were hypoplastic. On the right hemisphere as on most part of the left one, microscopic findings displayed a complete disruption of the developing mantle with disturbance of the neuronal migration. The present fetus fulfilled the diagnosis of OFD syndrome: Dysmorphic features, cleft palate and lobulate tongue and polysyndactylies of the feet and hands. The cerebral involvement would make it closer to OFD type VI, but brain malformations were far more severe in the present case, with complex and generalized cortical dysgenesis, evoking a disturbance occurring at a very early stage of the embryogenesis.

Abstract
The oral-facial-digital syndromes (OFDS) represent a heterogenous group of disorders characterized by oral malformation, facial anomalies, and digital anomalies. Type II OFDS was reported by Mohr in 1941. Mohr syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by median cleft lip, poly lobed tongue, absence of medial incisors, and polydactyly of hands and feet. Some other different expressive types of OFDS cases have been reported, and identified with 11 different clinical entities up to the present. Until now, only three cases of OFDS II in Japanese patients have been detected except for our patient. At this time, we observed a Japanese patient of Mohr syndrome with median cleft lip and tongue, hypertrophied frenula, absence of left medial incisor, and bilateral bifidity of great toe. Lip and tongue plasty was performed at 7 months after birth and toe plasty was done at 11 months with good results.

Abstract
We report a male patient with the clinical characteristics of an OFDS (oral facial digital syndrome). He also has penile agenesis, clavicular flattening and cerebellar anomalies. This patient was classified as a severe form of OFD type II-Mohr syndrome but the possibility of this being OFDS VI-Varadi syndrome or a new form of OFDS cannot completely be excluded.

Abstract
Oral-facial-skeletal (OFS) syndromes include short rib-polydactyly (SRP) and oral-facial-digital (OFD) syndromes. Congenital heart defect (CHD), mainly atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD), is a cardinal finding in the Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome, but it occurs only occasionally in other SRP and OFD syndromes. The cardiac characteristics of all patients with OFS syndromes evaluated at our hospital from January 1986 to April 1997 were analyzed and compared with published reports. Ten patients with EVC syndrome, one with McKusick-Kaufman syndrome, and one with OFD syndrome type II had AVCD. Eight patients (67%) had a common atrium, eight (67%) a persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) draining into the left atrium because of an unroofed coronary sinus in five (42%), and left-sided obstructive lesions in three (25%). One patient with EVC syndrome had AVCD, common atrium, double outlet right ventricle, persistent LSVC associated with "asplenia syndrome," visceral heterotaxia, and right isomerism. The combination of CHDs found in the personal series of OFS syndromes suggests pathogenetic similarity with heterotaxia syndromes. Published results also corroborate the association between OFS syndromes and CHDs usually occurring in heterotaxia. Molecular studies could shed light on the genetic mechanisms implicated in the cause of the OFS and heterotaxia syndromes.

Abstract
Oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDS VI) or Váradi syndrome is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder distinguished from other oral-facial-digital syndromes by metacarpal abnormalities with central polydactyly and by cerebellar abnormalities. Histopathologic characterization of the cerebellar abnormalities has not been described previously. We describe the neuropathologic findings in a stillborn, 21-week estimated gestational age (EGA) male fetus diagnosed antenatally with signs of OFDS VI. Autopsy findings included: facial abnormalities, postaxial central polydactyly of the right hand, bilateral bifid toes, and absence of cerebellar vermis with hypoplasia of the hemispheric cortex. Microscopic analysis of the cerebellum demonstrated absence of the subpial granular cell layer and disruption or dysgenesis of the glial architecture. These histopathologic findings suggest that a primary neuronal or glial cell defect, rather than an associated Dandy-Walker malformation, may account for the cerebellar abnormalities in this form of oral-facial-digital syndrome.

Abstract
We report on a male infant with internal hydrocephalus, absence of corpus callosum, papillomas and lobulation of the tongue, notches of the alveolar ridges, short ribs, dysplastic pelvis, hypospadias, short limbs with bowed long tubular bones and postaxial polydactyly of hands, and preaxial polydactyly in one foot. Radiologically this case shares manifestations with Jeune syndrome; the tongue lobulation and the preaxial polydactyly are similar to findings in Mohr syndrome, or short-rib polydactyly syndrome (SRPS), type Majewski. In addition, a female newborn presented with manifestations of Jeune and Ivemark syndromes. One explanation for this overlap may be compound heterozygosity for these syndromes.

Abstract
We report on a patient with a constellation of anomalies including hamartomas of the tongue, polysyndactyly, and atrioventricular canal. A similar association has been previously described by Orstavik et al in two sibs. The clinical spectrum of the oralfacial-digital syndrome (OFDS) type II includes all these features. In particular, congenital heart defect, mainly atrioventricular canal, has been described in a few cases. It has been previously suggested that these latter patients may be affected by a variant of OFDS type II. We propose to distinguish this orocardiodigital variant and point out the association of the syndrome with atrioventricular canal.
