Thanatophoric Dysplasia: A Report of 2 Cases with Antenatal Misdiagnosis by Lamidi Audu, Amina Gambo, Tokan Silas Baduku, Bilkisu Farouk, Anisa Yahaya, Kefas Jacob

“…Thanatophoric dysplasia (TD) is a rare but uniformly lethal inherited disorder of the skeletal system resulting from defects in the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 gene on the short arm of chromosome ##4. It is characterised by pronounced shortening of the tubular bones resulting in significant short stature, macrocephaly, a funnel-shaped chest, protuberant abdomen, redundant skin in the limbs, and typical facies among others. …”

Prader-Willi Syndrome: Clinical Aspects by Grechi Elena, Cammarata Bruna, Mariani Benedetta, Di Candia Stefania, Chiumello Giuseppe

“…The syndrome is due to the loss of expression of several genes encoded on the proximal long arm of chromosome 15 (15q11.2–q13). The complex phenotype is most probably caused by a hypothalamic dysfunction that is responsible for hormonal dysfunctions and for absence of the sense of satiety. …”
