Exploring the developmental mechanisms underlying Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome: Evidence for defects in neural crest cell migration

Abstract: Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by mental retardation, craniofacial malformation, and defects in skeletal and heart development. The syndrome is associated with irregularities on the short arm of chromosome 4, including deletions of varying sizes and microduplications. Many of these genotypic aberrations in humans have been correlated with the classic WHS phenotype, and animal models have provided a context for mapping these genetic irregularities to specific pheno… Show more

“…Entre los rasgos faciales exhibidos, como ya se hizo referencia, presentaron en conjunto el típico aspecto de casco de guerrero griego. 5,6,[12][13][14] La presencia de estos hallazgos debe orientar el diagnóstico, por lo cual debe iniciarse un estudio interdisciplinario de las diversas anormalidades que forman parte del espectro clínico de la entidad.…”

“…Según la técnica alcanzada, los estudios citogenéticos de los casos 1-4 fueron normales; no se pudo visualizar ninguna alteración. Por su parte, en el caso 5, el estudio arrojó el diagnóstico de SWH en mosaico 46,XY,4p-[34]/46,XY [6] (40 metafases estudiadas). En la Tabla 3, se muestran los resultados de los estudios de microarrays y, en la Figura 2, se ilustran algunos de los microarrays en estos pacientes.…”

“…This question must be left to some speculation; the precise cell biological roles of all WHS-affected genes warrant much more comprehensive study in the context of embryonic development and cell motility. We have previously summarized some of the known roles of these genes and how they may influence CNC development [54], but a brief summary incorporating recent work is outlined here.…”
