A case of hypomelanosis of Ito in a 22-month-old North African girl is reported. The family history is negative for skin disease. Whorls of depigmentation are present on the trunk and abdomen. Associated defects include: growth retardation, microcephaly, strabismus, bilateral epicanthus, myopia, hypertelorism and abnormalities of external ear. Associated non-cutaneous abnormalities documented in patients with hypomelanosis of Ito are reviewed.

A syndrome consisting of colobomatous microphthalmia, heart disease, abnormalities of the external ear with associated hearing loss, and mental retardation is described. Nine children and one adult were evaluated. There is not race or sex predilection. The syndrome can be heritable, as shown by a mother and daughter who were among the patients. In addition to the four major components enumerated, multiple other anomalies may be associated. In some cases, the syndrome may occur incompletely. Whenever two or more of the four components are recognized, the other systems usually affected should be investigated.

Ullrich-Turner syndrome occurred in one of a pair of female twins. The chromosome constitution of the affected twin was 45,X/46,XX and that of the normal twin 46,XX. Investigation of banded chromosomes, red cell antigens, HLA types, red cell enzymes, and serum proteins indicates monozygosity. The twins are discordant for height, pterygium colli, ovarian function, strabismus, dental eruption, external ear formation, hearing loss, and performance scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Test. All of these differences can be attributed to X monosomy in one cell line in the affected twin, presumably resulting from mitotic nondisjunction or anaphase lag early during embryonic development. Ten other pairs of apparently monozygotic twins discordant for the Ullrich-Turner syndrome have been reported previously, and the findings in these cases are reviewed.

We report an 8-year-old Japanese girl with von Recklinghausen disease, who presented with aortic arch anomalies and left hemilateral oculo-otolaryngeal abnormalities including strabismus, blepharoptosis, a dysplastic external ear and hearing loss. The aortic arch anomalies including subclavian artery obstruction that appeared to be a consequence of the neurofibromatosis, and the hemilateral oculo-otolaryngeal abnormalities could be explained by disruption of the subclavian artery supply during embryogenesis.

We present a patient with optic nerve hypoplasia, secondary strabismus, mild deafness, abnormal external ear helices, and renal hypoplasia. The clinical phenotype was consistent with renal-coloboma syndrome, but no point mutation in the PAX2 gene could be identified. High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis showed that this patient has a submicroscopic deletion on chromosome 10, affecting the entire coding region of the PAX2 gene. This finding provided the molecular confirmation of the patient's clinical diagnosis and showed that, in addition to point mutations, deletions of the PAX2 gene contribute to the etiology of the renal-coloboma syndrome.
