A 2-week-old male is presented with the clinical findings of the autosomal dominant Townes-Brocks syndrome in an otherwise unaffected family. The patient showed the full spectrum of anomalies including imperforate anus, perineal fistula, triphalangeal thumb, preaxial polydactyly, pre-auricular tags, and microtia. As there is considerable overlap with the VACTERL association, careful examination of the parents is necessary with regard to the genetic counselling risk.
一名2周大的男婴被诊断患有常染色体显性遗传的汤姆斯-布罗克斯综合征,其家族中其他成员均未受影响。该患者表现出一系列异常症状,包括肛门闭锁、会阴瘘、三节指骨拇指、轴前多指畸形、耳前赘生物和小耳畸形。由于该病与VACTERL综合征有相当多的重叠症状,因此在进行遗传咨询风险评估时,有必要对其父母进行仔细检查。
