We report on four patients with tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome with exostoses (TRPSE) who were not mentally retarded and review 32 previously published cases. These data enable more complete delineation of the phenotype and document the variability of the clinical and radiographic manifestations. Information on the genetics and the association with del(8q) is discussed, as are management and avenues for further investigation. The apparent variability of intelligence in TRPSE patients together with the high incidence of other problems, including significant delay in speech development and hearing loss, make systematic multidisciplinary evaluation and long-term treatment necessary to achieve the best outcome.

It is a very rare condition and diagnosis is usually made at birth or in early childhood. LGS is caused by a small deletion of chromosomal material. A chromosome is a thread-like structure which is present in the nucleus of all body cells. The chromosomes carry the genes which are the instructions about how to make a new baby from a sperm and an egg. Genes are "strung" along chromosomes rather like beads are strung along a necklace. In LGS a small piece of the 8th chromosome is missing (or deleted) comprising a number of genes. The loss of these genes is responsible for some of the overall characteristics of LGS. The features associated with this condition include mild to moderate learning difficulties, short stature, unique facial features, small head (microcephaly) and skeletal abnormalities including bony growths projecting from the surfaces of bones. These may include benign bony growths on various bones of the body or cone-shaped extensions on the growing ends (epiphyses) of certain bones, particularly in the hands, and specific craniofacial features. Typically individuals with LGS have fine scalp hair, ears which may be large or prominent, broad eyebrows, deep-set eyes, bulbous nose, long narrow upper lip and missing teeth.

Extractions: Langer-Giedion Syndrome Langer-Giedion Syndrome is an extremely rare genetic, multisystem disorder that belongs to the group of diseases known as Ectodermal Dysplasias. Langer-Giedion Syndrome is characterized by fine, thin hair; unusual facial features; progressive growth retardation resulting in short stature; abnormally short fingers and toes (brachydactyly); "cone-shaped" formation of the "growing ends" of certain bones; development of multiple bony growths (exostoses) projecting outward from the surfaces of various bones of the body; and/or additional abnormalities.

A deletion in this region of chromosome 8 is linked with Langer-Giedion Syndrome. see also:

Extractions: stand still and he obeyed him. Langer-Giedion Syndrome (Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome, Type II) This Syndrome can also go under the name of "Langer-Giedion Syndrome". A good patient's (non-jargon) description of it can be found at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/LGS-GD.html , and a doctor's (very jargony) description at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/lgs.html . The Home Page centring on LGS ican be found at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/LGS.htm l (University of Houston). Basically, I think (and I am not a qualified MD - in fact, I never even studied Biology at school... preferred Physics and Chemistry instead.. all 4-7 years of it!) that it occurs when one gene, or a part of it, is missing. In other words, it's a genetically based condition. It comes in two parts..... EXT1, which causes growths (benign cancers?) on bones, and another (named TRPSI by the medical/gene world) which puts a sort of a cone onto some of the growing ends of the bones. What happens when the kid grows up, and stops growing, I have yet to find out! There are other signs which some, but not all, patients have... such as being short, having folds in their skins when they're still kids (young kids, at that), and (sometimes) double-jointedness. To have one, two, or even all of these body traits is not to say "LGS", but rather that someone with LGS is more liable to also fit one or more of these descriptions.
