Descriptor síndrome de Wolf-Hirschhorn
Scope note: Síndrome causado por grandes supresiones de la extremidad telomérica del brazo corto del CROMOSOMA 4 (4p) en las regiones críticas del síndrome de Wolf-Hirschhorn (WHSCRs). Se han identificado varios genes candidatos, incluidos el WHSC1 y WHSC2 que parecen ser responsables de fenotipo central, y en combinación con otros genes ligados y no ligados determinan la gravedad e inclusión de los fenotipos más infrecuentes. La mayoría de los casos tienen un defecto craneofacial característico al que con frecuencia se denomina "cara de cascogriego" - resultado combinado de MICROCEFALIA, frente amplia, glabela prominente, HIPERTELORISMO, cejas enarcadas, filtrum corto y microganatia. Además, hay retraso mental, retrasos en el crecimiento, EPILEPSIA, y frecuentemente una amplia gama de defectos en la línea media y esqueléticos, que incluyen HISPOSPADIAS, DEFECTOS CARDIACOS CONGÉNITOS, LABIO LEPORINO, PALADAR HENDIDO, colobomas, DEFORMIDADES EN LOS PIES, clinodactilia, ESCOLIOSIS y CIFOSIS.

Scope note: A syndrome caused by large deletions of the telomereic end of the short arm of CHROMOSOME 4 (4p) in Wolf-Hirchhorn syndrome critial regions (WHSCRs). Several candidate genes have been identified including WHSC1 and WHSCH2 which appear to be responsible for the core phenotype and in combination with other linked and unlinked genes determine the severity and inclusion of rarer phenotypes. Most cases have a characteristic cranio-facial defect often referred to as "Greek helmet face" - a combined result of MICROCEPHALY, broad forehead, prominent glabella, HYPERTELORISM, high arched eyebrows, short philtrum and micrognathia. In addition there is mental retardation, growth delays, EPILEPSY, and frequently a wide range of midline and skeletal defects, including HYPOSPADIAS; CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS; CLEFT LIP; CLEFT PALATE; colobomata; CLUBFOOT; clinodactyly; SCOLIOSIS; and KYPHOSIS.
