Extractions: Congenital Fusion of Maxilla and Mandible (Bony Syngnathia): A Case Report Ismail Yazdi DMD, FICD , Amir Hossein Fakhraee DMD Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Pars Hospital, Tehran, Iran Abstract Congenital bony fusion of the jaws (syngnathia) without any other anatomic oral anomalies is a very rare condition. Numerous cases with combination of cleft palate, aglossia, and soft or bony adhesion between the maxilla and mandible have been reported. Syngnathia could also occur with popliteal pterygium syndrome and van der Woude syndrome. This report presents a case of syngnathia with bilateral maxillo-mandibular inter-alveolar adhesion, unusually with no other intra-oral anomalies. Keywords Congenital bony syngnathia congenital fusion maxilla mandible syngnathia Introduction C ongenital bony fusion of the maxilla and mandible (bony syngnathia), especially as an isolated occurrence, is a very rare condition. Syngnathia mostly appears in association with other anatomic oral and maxillofacial anomalies. About 15 such cases have been reported in the literature in combination with cleft lip, cleft of hard and soft palate, aglossia, popliteal pterygium syndrome , van der Woude syndrome, aglossia-adactylia syndrome , oral soft tissue synechiae, hypoplasia of the proximal mandible, hemifacial microsomia, cleft of mandible, bifid tongue, small or absent tongue, temporomandibular (zygomaticomandibular) fusion and some other regional and systemic anomalies.

Extractions: in Cleft Lip and Palate Scientists have discovered the gene that causes Van der Woude syndrome (VWS), which is the most common syndromic form of cleft lip or palate, occurring in approximately 1 of every 33,000 live births. Children with the syndrome are born with any of four characteristic birth defects: pits, or small indentations, in the lower lip, cleft lip, cleft palate, and undeveloped tooth buds. The gene, called Interferon regulatory factor 6 ), seems to play a key role in the normal formation of the lips, palate, skin, and genitalia. IRF6 belongs to a family of nine transcription factors that share a highly conserved helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain and a less conserved protein-binding domain. Most IRFs regulate the expression of interferon-alpha and -beta after viral infection, but the exact function of IRF6 is unknown. The gene encoding IRF6 is located in the critical region for VWS locus at chromosome 1q32-q41. In addition, dominant-negative mutations of IRF6 lead to webbing of the skin in popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS), demonstrating that these syndromes are allelic.
Extractions: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/news/inside_scoop_cleft_lip_palate.asp Scientists report in this month's Nature Genetics they have discovered the gene that causes Van der Woude syndrome, the most common of the syndromic forms of cleft lip and palate. The term "syndromic" means babies are born with cleft lip and palate, in addition to other birth defects. According to the scientists, the discovery could very possibly direct them to genes involved in "non-syndromic" cleft lip and palate, one of the most common birth defects in the world. Among Caucasians, non-syndromic cleft lip and palate occurs in an estimated 1 in every 1,000 live births, and the frequency seems to be even higher in some Asian countries, such as China and The Philippines. "Since there is so much clinical overlap between the two, we expect that similar genes and maybe even the same genes will be involved in the non-syndromic form," said Jeff Murray, M.D., a scientist at the University of Iowa and an author on the paper. Murray noted that the gene, called IRF6, seems to play a key role in the normal formation of the lips, palate, skin, and genitalia. He said further study of the gene should provide precise molecular clues into normal human development and suggest specific biological strategies to prevent birth defects, such as cleft lip and palate.

Extractions: Van der Woude Syndrome Learn about Van der Woude Syndrome What is Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS)? Clefts of the lip or palate have many causes. One cause is Van der Woude Syndrome (VWS), an inherited disorder. Inherited disorders are passed from parent to child through genes. About three percent of people with a cleft have VWS. Features of VWS include: People who show signs of VWS can have one or more of these features. It is the lip pits or mounds that help set VWS apart from other types of cleft syndromes. Lip mounds (top) and lip pits (bottom) in patients with VWS What causes VWS? Genes, the basic unit of heredity, contain blueprints for human growth and development. Genes are found on chromosomes. Humans have 46 chromosomes, 23 coming from the mother and 23 coming from the father. A change or alteration in a single gene on chromosome number one causes VWS. Of the people who inherit this altered gene, 95 percent have some features of VWS. Some people who inherit an altered VWS gene do not show any features. Can future children have VWS?
