Cleft palate is not one of the malformations in the Williams-Beuren syndrome.
We report the case of a female patient affected by Williams syndrome, presenting with a cleft palate. The diagnosis of Williams-Beuren syndrome was confirmed by genetic analysis.
Cleft palate with a Williams syndrome can be fortuitous given these two affections' frequency. The prevalence of Williams syndrome is 1/7500 to 1/10,000 births and palatine division 1/2000 to 1/2500. Cleft palate might also be a rare entity of Williams syndrome. We cannot be sure that the two are linked.
腭裂并非威廉姆斯-贝伦综合征的畸形之一。
我们报告一例患有威廉姆斯综合征的女性患者，伴有腭裂。通过基因分析确诊为威廉姆斯-贝伦综合征。
鉴于这两种病症的发病率，威廉姆斯综合征合并腭裂可能是偶然情况。威廉姆斯综合征的患病率为每7500至10000例出生中有1例，腭裂的患病率为每2000至2500例中有1例。腭裂也可能是威廉姆斯综合征的一种罕见表现。我们无法确定两者是否存在关联。
