Congenital Midline Cervical Cleft: First Report and Genetic Analysis of Two Related Patients

Abstract: Objectives: Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is a rare congenital anterior neck anatomical anomaly. We present the case of two related patients (grandchild and maternal grandmother) who were both born with a congenital midline cervical cleft along with genetic analysis. Methods: Clinical examination of both patients and surgical excision of the grandchild was performed. Genetic analysis with exome sequencing (ES) was conducted for both patients. Results: Genetic analysis with exome sequencing (ES) reve… Show more

“…UniProtKB database reveals the occurrence of human SCO-spondin at transcriptomic level (A2VEC9) although the Human Genome Organization Gene Nomenclature Committee classifies human SCO-spondin as pseudogen (HGNC: 21998). The relevance of clarifying this aspect lies in the fact that anormal human SCO-spondin has been linked to several pathologies, including hydrocephaly [ 26 , 175 ], Parkinson’s disease [ 181 ], phenylketonuria [ 182 ], cancer [ 183 ], congenital midline cervical cleft [ 184 ], and schizophrenia [ 185 ]. In relation to schizophrenia, is interesting to highlight that this disease is related with cerebral aqueduct stenosis [ 186 ] and hydrocephaly [ 187 ], two pathologies also associated with SCO-spondin anomalies [ 26 , 175 ].…”

“…Fibrosarkome entstehen aus (Myo)fibroblasten und bilden etwa 1-3 % aller Sarkome. In der Kindheit auftretende Fibrosarkome weisen eine günstigere Prognose auf als im späteren Lebensalter entstehende Fibrosarkome [131,200]. Mit bisher etwa 100 veröffentlichten Fällen infantiler Fibrosarkome, von welchen bereits 40 % bei Geburt diagnostiziert wurden, sind diese Tumore sehr selten [75].…”

“…Regarding its pathogenesis, a multitude of different hypotheses is discussed – according to the general opinion, a missing intrauterine fusion of the facial processes of the first and second pharyngeal arch due to mechanical or vascular factors is responsible for this developmental disorder 11 . More recent investigations indicate that polymorphisms of single nucleotides might be the cause of the development of the congenital midline cervical cleft 132 .…”
