title: Exclusion of MYF5, GSC, RUNX2, and TCOF1 mutation in a case of cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome.
abstract: Cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome (CCMS) is an uncommon multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by severe micrognathia, posterior rib-gap defects, and developmental delay. The cause of CCMS is unknown. Genes hypothesized to have a causal role in CCMS, include myogenic factor 5 (MYF5), goosecoid homeobox (GSC) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) [formerly known as core-binding factor (CBFA1)]. We report an infant with typical features of CCMS who, on prenatal ultrasound, was found to have severe micrognathia. We present the first image by three-dimensional computed tomography of posterior rib-defect, and we exclude mutations of the MYF5, GSC, RUNX2, and TCOF1 genes in our patient. Further molecular studies are needed to evaluate the cause of CCMS.
