La Sindrome di Franceschetti. Osservazioni citogenetiche
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
The karyotype has been analysed of two subjects with mandibulofacial dysostosis (Franceschetti's syndrome), considering that the main anomalies of this condition are also present in other malformations for which the association with particular genomic or chromosomal aberrations has been demonstrated.
In both subjects, the karyotype was normal.
The comparison of the clinical and cytogenetic data of this malformation with those of others (trisomy-D1 syndrome, trisomy-18 syndrome, deletion-18 syndrome) provides further evidence of the complexity of the genie systems controlling the processes of individuation during embryonic development, and of their interferences. However, this also shows how difficult it is to obtain human chromosome maps through the study of the macroscopic phenotypic characteristics of certain chromosomal anomalies.
