Abstract: | We describe the phenotype of a 5 year old girl with features resembling Temtamy syndrome, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, ventriculomegaly, frontal bossing, peaked eyebrows, ptosis, malformed and low set ears, a depressed nasal bridge, a long philtrum, and iris and chorioretinal colobomas. Features unique to this child include profound mental retardation, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, agenesis of the corpus callosum, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, unilateral renal agenesis, neurogenic bladder and hydronephrosis. High resolution chromosome analysis demonstrated a de novo, balanced translocation 46,XX,t(2;9)(p24;q32)]; and her case has some overlapping phenotypic features with cases of monosomy for 2p. This is the first documented case of Temtamy syndrome with a specific chromosomal anomaly, and will assist with the elucidation of the syndrome's underlying genetic defect. |
