    Title translation Trisomía 9p. Una breve descripción clínica, diagnóstica y terapéutica.
    Abstract Trisomy 9p is characterized by the partial or complete duplication of the short arm of chromosome 9. It is one of the most common autosomal structural abnormalities in newborn infants. This is a relatively poor gene region, so it may be more compatible with survival. It is characterized by delayed mental and psychomotor growth, craniofacial dysmorphisms, skeletal alterations, central nervous system abnormalities, congenital heart disease, and, to a lesser extent, kidney disorders. To establish a diagnosis, it is necessary to perform a cytogenetic study with G bands and, if available, fluorescence in situ hybridization complemented with comparative genomic hybridization for a better understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation. Assessment should be interdisciplinary and encompassing a timely family genetic counseling, together with available therapeutic options in an early manner.

    Abstract Background: To report ocular manifestations, clinical course, and therapeutic management of patients with molecular genetically confirmed keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome.
    Methods: Four patients, aged 19 to 46, with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome from across the UK were recruited for a general and ocular examination and GJB2 (Cx26) mutational analysis. The ocular examination included best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp bio-microscopy, and ocular surface assessment. Mutational analysis of the coding region of GJB2 (Cx26) was performed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing.
    Results: All four individuals had the characteristic systemic features of keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome. Each patient was found to have a missense mutation, resulting in the substitution of aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 50 (p.D50N). Main ophthalmic features were vascularizing keratopathy, ocular surface disease, hyperkeratotic lid lesions, recurrent epithelial defects, and corneal stromal scarring. One patient had multiple surgical procedures, including superficial keratectomies and lamellar keratoplasty, which failed to prevent severe visual loss. In contrast, oral therapy with ketoconazole stabilized the corneal and skin disease in two other patients with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome. The patient who underwent intracorneal bevacizumab injection showed a marked reduction in corneal vascularization following a single application.
    Conclusions: Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome is a rare ectodermal dysplasia caused by heterozygous mutations in GJB2 (Cx26) with a severe, progressive vascularizing keratopathy. Oral ketoconazole therapy may offer benefit in stabilizing the corneal and skin disease.

    Title translation Principales entidades genéticas asociadas con dientes supernumerarios.
    Abstract Supernumerary teeth represent a common human dental anomaly, defined as presence of extra teeth-more than the normal number foreseen in primary or permanent dentition. The prevalence has been reported between 0.2 to 3%, and is more frequent in males than females. The etiology is heterogeneous, highly variable and most of the cases are idiopathic. However, the presence of multiple impacted or erupted supernumerary teeth is rare and associated with some genetic syndromes: cleidocranial displasia, familial adenomatous polyposis, trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I, Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, Nance-Horan syndrome, Opitz G/BBB syndrome, oculofaciocardiodental syndrome and Robinow syndrome (autosomal dominant). The supernumerary teeth should be considered in order to possibly diagnose these entities with the aim of offering an interdisciplinary management and treatment, as well as offer adequate family genetic counseling.

    Abstract Dyskeratosis congenital (DC) is the first genetic syndrome described among telomeropathies. Its classical phenotype is characterized by the mucocutaneous triad of reticulated pigmentation of skin lace, nail dystrophy and oral leukoplakia. The clinical presentation, however, is heterogeneous and serious clinical complications include bone marrow failure, hematological and solid tumors. It may also involve immunodeficiencies, dental, pulmonary and liver disorders, and other minor complication. Dyskeratosis congenita shows marked genetic heterogeneity, as at least 14 genes are responsible for the shortening of telomeres characteristic of this disease. This review discusses clinical characteristics, molecular genetics, disease evolution, available therapeutic options and differential diagnosis of dyskeratosis congenita to provide an interdisciplinary and personalized medical assessment that includes family genetic counseling.

    Abstract The term ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) describes a heterogeneous group of inherited developmental disorders that affect several tissues of ectodermal origin. The most common form of EDs is hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), which is characterized by hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and partial or total eccrine sweat gland deficiency. HED is estimated to affect at least 1 in 17,000 people worldwide. Patients with HED have characteristic facies with periorbital hyperpigmentation, depressed nasal bridge, malar hypoplasia, and absent or sparse eyebrows and eyelashes. The common ocular features of HED include madarosis, trichiasis, and ocular chronic surface disease due to dry eye syndrome, which manifests clinically with discomfort, photophobia, and redness. Dry eye is common in HED and results from a combination of ocular surface defects: mucus abnormalities (abnormal conjunctival mucinous glands), aqueous tear deficiency (abnormalities in the lacrimal gland) and lipid deficiency (due to the partial or total absence of the meibomian glands; modified sebaceous glands with the tarsal plate). Sight-threatening complications result from ocular surface disease, including corneal ulceration and perforation with subsequent corneal scarring and neovascularization. Rare ocular features have been reported and include bilateral or unilateral congenital cataracts, bilateral glaucoma, chorioretinal atrophy and atresia of the nasolacrimal duct. Recognition of the ocular manifestations of HED is required to perform clinical surveillance, instigate supportive and preventative treatment, and manage ocular complications.
