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

Dual diagnosis of achondroplasia and mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly [PDF]
Background Achondroplasia and mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) are rare monogenic, dominant disorders, caused by gain-of-function fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene variants and loss-of-function elongation factor Tu GTP ...

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

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 ...

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).

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.

Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly: An expansion of the phenotype via parental survey. [PDF]
AbstractMandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is due to haploinsufficiency of spliceosomal GTPase EFTUD2. Features include microcephaly, craniofacial dysmorphology, developmental disability, and other anomalies. We surveyed parents of individuals with MFDM to expand knowledge about health, development, and parental concerns.

A de novo start-loss in EFTUD2 associated with mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly: case report. [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Major characteristics include developmental delay, craniofacial malformations such as malar and mandibular hypoplasia, and ear anomalies. Here, we report a 4.5-yr-old female patient with symptoms fitting MFDM.

AbstractBackgroundMandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare multiple malformation syndrome characterized by malar and mandibular hypoplasia and congenital‐ or postnatal‐onset microcephaly induced by haploinsufficiency of (elongation factor Tu GTP‐binding domain‐containing 2) EFTUD2.MethodsWe report the case of a 16‐month‐old boy ...

Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly: a syndrome to remember. [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare condition that causes abnormalities of the head and face. Other major extracranial malformations may also be found. The authors present a case of an MFDM in a 35 weeks newborn with antenatal growth restriction.
