Cleft chins are common among people originating from Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. [21] There is a possible genetic cause for cleft chins, a genetic marker called rs11684042, which is located in chromosome 2. [22] In Persian literature, the chin dimple is considered a factor of beauty and is metaphorically referred to as "the chin pit ...
Cleft chin: Smooth chin [13] Freckles: No freckles [7] [14] Wet-type earwax: Dry-type earwax [10] [15] Roman nose: No prominent bridge [16] Marfan syndrome: Average body proportions and connective tissue [17] Huntington's disease: No nerve damage [18] Normal mucous lining Cystic fibrosis [19] Photic sneeze reflex: No light-induced sneeze reflex ...
Facial deformities with Smith-Fineman-Myers syndrome. SFMS affects the skeletal and nervous system. This syndrome's external signs would be an unusual facial appearance with their heads being slightly smaller than average, a narrow face (clinically known as dolichocephaly), a large mouth with a drooping lower lip that is held open, protruding upper jaw, widely spaced upper front teeth, an ...
Van der Woude syndrome is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease caused by a mutation in a single gene with equal distribution between the sexes. The disease has high penetrance at about 96% but the phenotypic expression varies from lower lip pits with cleft lip and cleft palate to no visible abnormalities.
Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is a genetic disorder characterized by deformities of the ears, eyes, cheekbones, and chin. [5] The degree to which a person is affected, however, may vary from mild to severe. [5] Complications may include breathing problems, problems seeing, cleft palate, and hearing loss. [5]
Tessier number 6 runs from the orbit to the cheek bone. Tessier number 7 is positioned on the line between the corner of the mouth and the ear. A possible lateral cleft comes from the corner of the mouth towards the ear, which gives the impression that the mouth is bigger. It's also possible that the cleft begins at the ear and runs towards the ...
Medical genetics is the application of genetics to medical care. It overlaps human genetics, for example, research on the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders would be considered within both human genetics and medical genetics, while the diagnosis, management, and counseling of individuals with genetic disorders would be considered part ...
Medical genetics Ectrodactyly – ectodermal dysplasia – cleft syndrome , or EEC , and also referred to as EEC syndrome [ 1 ] and split hand –split foot–ectodermal dysplasia–cleft syndrome [ 2 ] : 520 is a rare form of ectodermal dysplasia , an autosomal dominant disorder inherited as a genetic trait .
