Cockayne’s syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized clinically by cachectic dwarfism, cutaneous photosensitivity, loss of adipose tissue, mental retardation, skeletal and neurological abnormalities, and pigmentary degeneration of the retina. Dental caries is a common finding. Dental rehabilitation of a 14-year-old male with Cockayne’s syndrome is presented.

Raine Syndrome (RS) also referred to as lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia describes an exceptionally rare autosomal recessive disorder with an estimated prevalence of <1 in 1,000,000. Endocrinological manifestations such as hypophosphataemic rickets depict a recent finding within the phenotypic spectrum of nonlethal RS. The dental sequelae of hypophosphataemic rickets are significant. Spontaneous recurrent abscesses on noncarious teeth result in significant odontogenic pain and multiple dental interventions. The dental presentations of nonlethal RS are less widely described within the literature. Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI), however, was recently postulated as a key characteristic. This article presents the dental manifestations and extensive restorative and oral surgical intervention of three siblings with hypophosphataemic rickets secondary to Raine Syndrome treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, a tertiary referral hospital.

Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a very rare autosomal-recessive disorder with pan-systemic effects. The perioperative period may be hazardous for patients with this disorder. We describe the presenting features and management of a child who was scheduled for elective ambulatory general anesthesia and discuss the relevant points for the busy anesthesiologist.

Dubowitz syndrome was first reported in 1965 by Victor Dubowitz. Dubowitz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by microcephaly, short stature, abnormal faces, eczematous skin eruption, and mild to severe mental retardation. In this review, we describe a female newborn with microcephaly, micrognathia, high narrow, syndactyly, clinodactyly, ventricular septal defect, poor feeding and sacral dimple. Here, we heard the requirement to report this case because of rarity.

Seckel syndrome, first defined by Seckel in 1960, is a rare (incidence 1:10,000) genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder presenting at birth. Seckel described the disease on the basis of two cases he had studied in Chicago as well as 13 cases on nanocephalic dwarfs reported in the literature over a 200-year period. It is Characterized by dwarfism prenatally resulting in low birth weight, abnormally small head with a “bird‑headed” like appearance (beaked nose, receding forehead, prominent eyes, and micrognathia) and mental retardation. Other facial features include abnormally large eyes and narrow face. This syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. A case of Seckel syndrome that was reported is described in this article.

Bardet Biedl syndrome is a rare heterogenous autosomal recessive disorder. A very few cases were reported in Bangladesh. A 12-year-old boy presented with childhood obesity, polydactyly in all 4 limbs, bilateral gynaecomastia, acanthosisnigricans, night blindness and mental retardation. After hormonal evaluation he was found to have hypogonadotrophichypogonadism, dislipidaemia, renal impairment, elevated liver enzymes and retinitis pigmentosa. We advised him to reduce weight and implemented and weight reducing diet. Levothyroxine and metformin were started. He was scheduled for eye check-up every 3 months and follow up at endocrinology.

Kindler syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder which is a form of Epidermolysis Bullosa. It is characterized by skin fragility and acral blister formation beginning at birth. We hereby present a case of Kindler syndrome. The case is being reported for its rarity and a number of general features like blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and/or poikilodermatous skin changes and oral features such as gingival swelling, advanced periodontal bone loss, mild-to-severe gingivitis, dental caries, and leukokeratosis of buccal mucosa along with its management.

A 13 year old boy presented with obesity, reduced vision, mental retardation, hypogonadism, delayed development and learning difficulty. On examination, he had polydactyly, moon face, bilateral gynaecomastia, small penis and testis. Retinitis pigmentosa was found on fundoscopy. With these typical features, he was diagnosed as a case of Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Beidle syndrome. It is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with mutation in 6 loci identified so far. It is commonly found in communities with high inter-family marriage. Clinical features appear early in childhood and diagnosis is usually done by puberty. Prominent features include rod-cone dystrophy leading to blindness, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, learning disability, hypogonadism in males, renal dysfunction with increased risk for renal cell carcinoma.
