title: Oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome.
abstract: Oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome consists of (1) eye anomalies: congenital cataract and microphthalmia, or secondary glaucoma, (2) facial abnormalities: (long narrow face, high nasal bridge, pointed nose with cartilages separated at the tip, cleft palate, or submucous cleft palate, (3) cardiac anomalies: atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), or floppy mitral valve; and (4) dental abnormalities: canine radiculomegaly, delayed dentition, oligodontia, persistent primary teeth, or variable root length. Other less common findings are: sensorineural hearing loss, septate vagina, and syndactyly of toes 2-3. Inheritance may be an X-linked dominant trait, lethal in the male.
