We report on a boy with severe growth and mental retardation, syndactyly of toes and facial anomalies. This phenotype can easily be classified in the group of craniodigital syndromes, but it is difficult to make a more clearly defined diagnosis, based on other minor anomalies, because of the presence of overlapping features. On the basis of various pathognomic features, we conclude that our patient could be an additional case of Filippi syndrome. Moreover, newly recognised features in this patient may be due to variability in phenotypic expression.

PMID:An additional case of craniodigital syndrome: variable expression of the Filippi syndrome? 937 8

Filippi syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by variable soft tissue syndactyly of the fingers and toes, microcephaly, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, mildly abnormal craniofacial appearance, and mental retardation. We report on three unrelated individuals with Filippi syndrome. All have microcephaly, minor facial anomalies, variable syndactyly of digits, growth impairment, and developmental delay. One patient also has polydactyly, which has not been reported previously in the Filippi syndrome.

PMID:Filippi syndrome: report of three additional cases. 1053 26

Filippi syndrome is a specific Multiple Congenital Abnormalities/Mental Retardation (MCA/MR) complex which must not be confused with other so called "craniodigital syndromes", a heterogeneous group of pathological conditions simply lumped for the combination of different cranial and digital anomalies. We report on a new patient with the characteristic features of Filippi syndrome, comparing him with other reported cases and underlining the peculiar and specific shape of the nasal bridge. The metacarpophalangeal profile in our patient is also quite unusual and could be, if confirmed, a good marker of this syndrome.

PMID:Filippi syndrome: a specific MCA/MR complex within the spectrum of so called "craniodigital syndromes". Report of an additional patient with a peculiar mpp and review of the literature. 1241 44

Filippi syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by variable soft tissue syndactyly of the fingers and toes, microcephaly, pre- and postnatal growth retardation, mildly abnormal craniofacial appearance, and mental retardation. We report on a child with Filippi syndrome who shows syndactyly of fingers, severe postnatal growth retardation, postnatal microcephaly, and moderate to severe mental retardation. In addition, there is a mildly dysmorphic face along with ocular and a number of dental abnormalities. Radiologically, hands demonstrate bony syndactyly, without any hypoplasia of bones. This phenotype can easily be classified in the group of craniodigital syndromes, but it is difficult to make a more clearly defined diagnosis, based on other minor anomalies, because of the presence of overlapping features. On the basis of various pathognomic features, we conclude that our patient could be an additional case of Filippi syndrome. Moreover, newly recognised features in this patient may be due to variability in phenotypic expression.

PMID:Multiple dental and skeletal abnormalities in an individual with filippi syndrome. 2422 67

Filippi syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by syndactyly of fingers and toes, microcephaly, growth retardation and abnormal facies. We are describing a boy who presented with syndactyly, mental retardation, microcephaly, depressed nasal bridge and growth retardation. In addition he had some dental abnormalities like missing bilateral lateral incisors and delayed eruption of teeth. We concluded it to be Filippi syndrome by studying pathognomic clinical features and reviewed the literature. This is the second case report from India.
