Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome (RCSPS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by distinctive physical features such as short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, and hand anomalies.
Definition and Characteristics
Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, pre/postaxial hand anomalies, and clubfoot. It follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Genetic Basis of Richieri–Costa–Silveira–Pereira Syndrome
Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with distinct genetic mutations leading to its characteristic physical features.
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance Pattern
Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome follows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, meaning that both parents must carry a copy of the mutated gene to pass it on to their child.
Clinical Features of Richieri–Costa–Silveira–Pereira Syndrome
Richieri-Costa–Silveira–Pereira Syndrome presents a unique set of clinical features, including short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, and hand anomalies along with clubfoot and other distinct physical characteristics.
Physical Manifestations
The physical manifestations of Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome include short stature, Robin sequence, cleft mandible, pre/postaxial hand anomalies, clubfoot, microstomia, micrognathia, and abnormal fusion of the mandible.
Diagnosis and Genetic Testing for Richieri–Costa–Silveira–Pereira Syndrome
Diagnosis of Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and genetic testing to confirm the presence of specific mutations associated with the condition.
Methods and Approaches
Diagnosis of Richieri-Costa-Silveira-Pereira Syndrome involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies like X-rays and MRIs, and genetic testing, including molecular techniques to identify specific mutations.
