Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly: Mutation and Database Update. [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a multiple malformation syndrome comprising microcephaly, craniofacial anomalies, hearing loss, dysmorphic features, and, in some cases, esophageal atresia. Haploinsufficiency of a spliceosomal GTPase, U5-116 kDa/EFTUD2, is responsible.

Loss of function mutation of Eftud2, the gene responsible for mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM), leads to pre-implantation arrest in mouse. [PDF]
Mutations in EFTUD2 are responsible for the autosomal dominant syndrome named MFDM (mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly). However, it is not clear how reduced levels of EFTUD2 cause abnormalities associated with this syndrome.

A novel pathogenic variant in POLR1D (c.220dup, p.His74ProfsTer8) causes Treacher Collins syndrome type 2 in a Chinese patient: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Treacher Collins syndrome type 2 (TCS2; OMIM# 613717) is a rare genetic disorder of craniofacial development caused by pathogenic variants in the POLR1D gene. The characteristic clinical features include downward-slanting palpebral fissures,

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Miller Syndrome: Insight From a French Cohort. [PDF]
This study expands the clinical spectrum of Miller syndrome by reporting novel features including preaxial defects, facial nevus simplex, and optic atrophy. It also includes the first patients with homozygous DHODH variants, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and the variability of presentations, from severe prenatal to mild adult phenotypes.
