Preferred Label : Atrioventricular septal defect with blepharophimosis and anal and radial defects;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : Houlston et al. (1994) described male and female sibs born of healthy nonconsanguineous
Caucasian parents, with a combination of malformations that included atrioventricular
septal defect, blepharophimosis, and anal and radial defects. The boy was the second
born of a 32-year-old mother and 36-year-old father. Atrioventricular septal defect
and tetralogy of Fallot were detected immediately after birth and corrected surgically.
Blepharophimosis, convergent squint, up-slanting palpebral fissures, small simple
ears, and micrognathia were noted. Fifth finger clinodactyly was present and the anus
was anteriorly placed. The second affected child was born 2 years later. She had a
secundum type atrial septal defect and a tiny ventricular septal defect. Blepharophimosis
was more pronounced than in case 1 and microphthalmia was present. The ears were simple
and cup-shaped. In the right forearm the radius was aplastic, the ulna was shortened,
and the first metacarpal and thumb were absent. On the left there was a vestigial
thumb represented only by soft tissue. The anus was imperforate and there was a rectovaginal
fistula. Houlston et al. (1994) listed various reasons for concluding that the disorder
in these sibs is distinct from that in several other syndromes with overlapping manifestations.
The inheritance is presumably autosomal recessive. *FIELD* RF 1. Houlston, R. S.;
