We report a mother and daughter who have hypertelorism, mild limb defects, umbilical hernia/omphalocele, natal teeth and minor craniofacial anomalies. These individuals represent the third family with Teebi hypertelorism syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant syndrome.

Teebi (1987) described an autosomal dominant syndrome with resemblance to craniofrontonasal dysplasia. Here we present a 2 year 5 month old girl with Teebi syndrome showing a prominent forehead, hypertelorism, mild exophthalmos, downslanting palpebral fissures, a depressed nasal bridge, a broad nasal tip, a long philtrum, natal teeth, a thin upper lip, an everted lower lip, a small chin, low-set ears, preauricular fistulas, a short neck, mild pectus excavatum, an umbilical hernia, clinodactyly of the 5th fingers with mild radial deviation of the distal phalanges of the middle fingers, mild pes adductus, an ectopic kidney, and normal psychomotor development. Her mother and her grandmother had similar features.

Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH, Goltz syndrome), is an X-linked dominant mesoectodermal developmental disorder, involving skin, skeleton, eyes, teeth, and other organs. Mutations in PORCN, which stimulates the secretion of wingless family signal proteins, are found in FDH patients. A female fetus presented at 34 weeks gestation with interuterine growth restriction (IUGR), asymmetry, limb anomalies, microphthalmia, and lung anomaly. Focal dermal hypoplasia was confirmed at birth, with hypoplastic areas of skin, malformation of the limbs, diaphragmatic hernia, and ocular anomalies. Mutation analysis of PORCN revealed a nonsense mutation-Y359X. She presented natal teeth, an unexpected feature considering the role of the Wnt pathway in tooth development.

Teebi hypertelorism syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that has eluded a molecular etiology since first described in 1987. Here we report on two unrelated families with a Teebi hypertelorism-like syndrome and Teebi hypertelorism phenotype who have missense mutations in Sperm Antigen With Calponin Homology And Coiled-Coil Domains (SPECC1L), previously associated with oblique facial clefting and Opitz G/BBB syndrome. The first patient and his affected mother were previously-reported by Hoffman et al. in this journal as a new syndrome resembling Teebi hypertelorism and Aarskog syndromes in 2007. This patient had hypertelorism, sagittal and coronal craniosynostosis, ptosis, natal teeth, unusual umbilicus, shawl scrotum, small hands, and feet, with grossly normal development. Our second patient had classic Teebi hypertelorism syndrome with hypertelorism and a giant umbilical hernia. Patient one and his affected mother had a c.1260G>C:p.E420D variant and patient two had a de novo c.1198_1203delATACAC:p.I400_H401del variant in SPECC1L. We review the phenotypic findings in the previously-published Teebi hypertelorism syndrome patients, and the Opitz G/BBB patients with SPECC1L mutations. In addition we emphasize the findings of aortic root dilation and craniosynostosis in these patients, which should be considered in their management.
