Objective First and second branchial arch involvement during early embryonic development results in a wide spectrum of anomalies that encompass diverse, superimposed, and heterogeneous phenotypes within the so-called oculoauriculovertebral spectrum. Nine members of a Brazilian family presenting typical branchial arch involvement in association with external opthalmoplegia are reported. Conclusion Macrostomia or abnormal mouth contour, preauricular tags, and uni- or bilateral ptosis were present in association in several patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report on this type of autosomal dominant condition. Clinical and genetic aspects are discussed.

Abstract We report the postnatal diagnosis of Van der Woude syndrome (VWS) in a foetus found to have an isolated right cleft lip and palate by ultrasound examination. After prenatal genetic counselling, the parents declined further evaluation by amniocentesis. At delivery, the infant was also found to have labial pits in the lower lip in addition to the cleft lip and palate identified by ultrasound consistent with VWS. Although VWS is rare, its autosomal dominant inheritance and variable penetrance should prompt additional modalities to more thoroughly evaluate the extent of other organ system and more extensive craniofacial anomalies.

Cowden’s disease is a rare autosomal dominant condition with characteristic mucocutaneous papillomatous lesions. These lesions are mucocutaneous markers for increased risk of malignancies in the thyroid, breast and the gastrointestinal tract. We discuss the case of a 50-year-old female patient who presented with oral and cutaneous papillomoas and a past history of breast malignancy. Important management aspects of these patients are considered.

Fontaine Progeroid Syndrome (FPS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by pathogenic variants in the SLC25A24 gene located on chromosome 1. Eleven cases have been described in the literature, with early lethality in some. We discuss the clinical course of a patient from birth until his death at 7 months.
