Abstract:
:We describe a patient with the unusual association of cleft palate, bilateral choanal atresia, curly hair, and congenital hypothyroidism. This association has been reported before in two brothers and may represent a new syndrome.

杂志文章,评审abstract:BACKGROUND:The cohesin complex plays an essential role in genome organisation and cell division. A full complement of the cohesin complex and its regulators is important for normal development, since heterozygous mutations in genes encoding these components can be sufficient to produce a disease phenotype. The implicat...
