Whole-Exome Sequencing of Discordant Monozygotic Twin Families for Identification of Candidate Genes for Microtia-Atresia

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
ObjectiveWe used data from twins and their families to probe the genetic factors contributing to microtia-atresia, in particular, early post-twinning variations that potentially account for the discordant phenotypes of monozygotic twin pairs.MethodsSix ...

Occurrence of Different External Ear Deformities in Monozygotic Twins: Report of 2 Cases

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2014
Summary: Microtia is a spectrum of congenital deformities, which varies from barely discernable to anotia. Twinning is a well-known risk factor for congenital defects including external ear deformities.

Artificial intelligence for assessing the severity of microtia via deep convolutional neural networks

Frontiers in Surgery, 2022
BackgroundMicrotia is a congenital abnormality varying from slightly structural abnormalities to the complete absence of the external ear. However, there is no gold standard for assessing the severity of microtia.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was ...

Hypertelorism-microtia-clefting syndrome in a 9-month-old child: A rare case report

Journal of Oral Research and Review, 2022
Hypertelorism-microtia-clefting (HMC) syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder. HMC syndrome is malformation of orofacial region characterized by hypertelorism, microtia, and cleft lip and palate.

Whole‐exome sequencing analysis in 10 families of sporadic microtia with thoracic deformities

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background Microtia is a congenital malformation of the external ear and may occur as an isolated deformity or as part of a syndrome. Our previous study found a high correlation between microtia and thoracic deformities, thus, we propose that external ...

The role for cochlear implants in microtia and congenital aural atresia: A case report and a review of literature

Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, 2023
Sensorineural hearing loss resulting from microtia and aural atresia is rare due to different embryologic origins of the external and inner ear. Consequently, cochlear implants are seldom performed in patients with microtia and/or aural atresia.
