Abstract Background GLI3 is a transcriptional regulator of several genes involved in mammalian skeletal development. Mutations in the pleiotropic gene GLI3 may result in different inherited disorders including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (GCPS). GCPS is characterized by mild to severe craniofacial and limb malformations. Methods and Results Here, we report clinical and molecular study of 3 families with GCPS originated in different regions of Pakistan. Sanger sequencing revealed two novel variants including a frameshift [c. 3790_3791InsC, p.(Gly1236Argfs*11)] and a missense [c.1692A>G, p.(His536Arg)], and one previously reported variant [c.1965_1966delAT, p.(His627Glufs*48)] located in 2 different domains of the GLI3. Conclusion This study not only expanded spectrum of the mutations in the GLI3 but also highlighted phenotypic variability in the GCPS patients. This will facilitate diagnosis and genetic counseling of families with same and related disorders in the Pakistani population.

Abstract Purpose Syndromic craniosynostosis is a rare genetic disease caused by premature fusion of one or multiple cranial sutures combined with malformations of other organs. The aim of this publication is to investigate sonographic signs of different syndromic craniosynostoses and associated malformations to facilitate a precise and early diagnosis. Methods We identified in the period of 2000–2019 thirteen cases with a prenatal suspected diagnosis of syndromic craniosynostosis at our department. We analyzed the ultrasound findings, MRI scans, genetic results as well as the mode of delivery, and postnatal procedures. Results Eight children were diagnosed with Apert Syndrome, two with Saethre Chotzen syndrome, one with Crouzon syndrome, and one with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome. One child had a mutation p.(Pro253Leu) in the FGFR2 gene. We identified characteristic changes of the head shape as well as typical associated malformations. Conclusion Second trimester diagnosis of syndromic craniosynostosis is feasible based on the identified sonographic signs. In case of a suspected diagnosis a genetic, neonatal as well as surgical counseling is recommended. We also recommend to offer a fetal MRI. The delivery should be planned in a perinatal center.
