We are reporting a female patient with a MURCS association (Müllerian duct aplasia, unilateral renal agenesis, cervico-thoracic somite fusion defects), situs inversus totalis, short stature with normal development and intelligence. We are presenting the comparison with two other patients published with similar finding. Our patient is distinct in having all the characteristic features and represents the severe spectrum of this disorder. We present our argument favoring this to be a monogenic syndrome distinct from the other two entities and probably a ciliopathy.
我们报告了一名患有MURCS综合征(苗勒管发育不全、单侧肾缺如、颈胸节段融合缺陷)、完全性内脏反位、身材矮小但发育和智力正常的女性患者。我们将其与另外两名发表了类似发现的患者进行了比较。我们的患者具有所有特征性表现,代表了该疾病的严重类型。我们提出理由支持这是一种与其他两种疾病不同的单基因综合征,可能是一种纤毛病。
