AI-based diagnosis in mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly using external ear shapes [PDF]
IntroductionMandibulo-Facial Dysostosis with Microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare disease with a broad spectrum of symptoms, characterized by zygomatic and mandibular hypoplasia, microcephaly, and ear abnormalities. Here, we aimed at describing the external ear

Atypical mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly diagnosed through the identification of a novel pathogenic mutation in EFTUD2 [PDF]
Background Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM, OMIM# 610536) is a rare monogenic disease that is caused by a mutation in the elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2 gene (EFTUD2, OMIM* 603892).

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.

A de novo synonymous variant in EFTUD2 disrupts normal splicing and causes mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly: case report [PDF]
Background Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by intellectual and growth retardations, as well as major microcephaly, induced by missense and splice site variants or ...

Novel Splice Site Pathogenic Variant of EFTUD2 Is Associated with Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly and Extracranial Symptoms in Korea [PDF]
Elongation factor Tu guanosine-5’-triphosphate (GTP) binding domain containing 2 (EFTUD2) encodes a major component of the spliceosomal GTPase and, if mutated, causes mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM; MIM#610536). Despite the increasing

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.
