Abstract
We report novel causative mutations in the IFT80 gene identified in four fetuses from two unrelated families with Beemer-Langer syndrome (BLS) or BLS-like phenotypes. We discuss the implication of the IFT80 gene in ciliopathies, and its diagnostic value for BLS among other SRPS.

Abstract
Background: We report a case of a neonate with proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 (also known as Werdnig-Hoffmann disease or severe infantile acute SMA) associated with a Blake's pouch cyst; a malformation that is currently classified within the spectrum of Dandy-Walker complex. The association of the two conditions has not been previously reported in the English literature. A comprehensive review of the pertinent literature is presented. Case Description: A male neonate was noted to have paucity of movement of the four limbs with difficulty of breathing and poor feeding soon after birth. Respiratory distress with tachypnea, necessitated endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. Pregnancy was uneventful except for decreased fetal movements reported by the mother during the third trimester. Neurological examination revealed generalized hypotonia with decreased muscle power of all limbs, nonelicitable deep tendon jerks, and occasional tongue fasciculations. Molecular genetic evaluation revealed a homozygous deletion of both exons 7 and 8 of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, and exon 5 of the neuronal apoptosis inhibitory protein (NAIP) gene on the long arm of chromosome 5 consistent with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease (SMA type 1). At the age of 5 months, a full anterior fontanelle and abnormal increase of the occipito-frontal circumference were noted. Computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a tetraventricular hydrocephalus and features of Blake's pouch cyst of the fourth ventricle. Conclusions: This case represents a previously unreported association of Blake's pouch cyst and SMA type 1.

Abstract
We report on two sibs with a lethal form of bone dysplasia with distinctive skeletal findings including rhizomelic and mesomelic limb shortening, hooked clavicles, dumbbell femurs, and absence of talus and calcaneus ossification. Other clinical features include Dandy-Walker malformation, congenital heart defects, joint contractures, genital hypoplasia, and distinctive facial features. These sibs appear to have a previously undescribed skeletal dysplasia, which is most likely inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Abstract
We present the case of a male infant born at 37 weeks gestation with multiple congenital anomalies, including hydrops fetalis, facial and visceral abnormalities, short ribs, and short limbs without polydactyly. We believe that this represents a further case of the Beemer-Langer syndrome, a relatively recently described form of lethal osteochondrodysplasia with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. This case also showed some less frequently described anomalies, including arachnoid cysts of the brain and short intestines.

Abstract
Oral-facial-skeletal (OFS) syndromes include short rib-polydactyly (SRP) and oral-facial-digital (OFD) syndromes. Congenital heart defect (CHD), mainly atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD), is a cardinal finding in the Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome, but it occurs only occasionally in other SRP and OFD syndromes. The cardiac characteristics of all patients with OFS syndromes evaluated at our hospital from January 1986 to April 1997 were analyzed and compared with published reports. Ten patients with EVC syndrome, one with McKusick-Kaufman syndrome, and one with OFD syndrome type II had AVCD. Eight patients (67%) had a common atrium, eight (67%) a persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) draining into the left atrium because of an unroofed coronary sinus in five (42%), and left-sided obstructive lesions in three (25%). One patient with EVC syndrome had AVCD, common atrium, double outlet right ventricle, persistent LSVC associated with "asplenia syndrome," visceral heterotaxia, and right isomerism. The combination of CHDs found in the personal series of OFS syndromes suggests pathogenetic similarity with heterotaxia syndromes. Published results also corroborate the association between OFS syndromes and CHDs usually occurring in heterotaxia. Molecular studies could shed light on the genetic mechanisms implicated in the cause of the OFS and heterotaxia syndromes.

Abstract
We present premature female twin fetuses with concordant extremely shortened ribs, short limbs, macrocephaly, median cleft upper lip and facial dysmorphism. Based on radiological criteria and the pattern of associated abnormalities, a lethal short rib-polydactyly syndrome (Beemer-Langer type) was diagnosed. The differential diagnosis of this entity is discussed.

Abstract
We report on a patient with manifestations typical of Mohr syndrome and of the short rib (polydactyly) syndromes (SR(P)S) Majewski, Verma-Naumoff, Beemer, and Jeune. It seems possible that the different types of SR(P) syndromes, rather than being distinct conditions, are part of a large disease spectrum. The frequent overlap between orofaciodigital syndromes and SR(P) syndromes may be interpreted as the outcome of deletions of different size within the same chromosome region.

Abstract
A de novo 17q paracentric inversion mosaicism is detected in a fetus with type IV short rib (polydactyly) syndrome (Beemer-Langer). The cytogenetic finding in our case suggests a possible location of the gene or cluster of linked genes responsible for SR (P) S type IV to 17q21 or 17q23. Since this chromosome abnormality has not been described in short rib polydactyly syndromes and the existence of type IV SR (P) S has been controversial, the literature of this entity is reviewed with special consideration to the classification of short rib polydactyly syndromes.

Abstract
Brothers are reported with an apparently new constellation of manifestations including Dandy-Walker complex (DWC), migrational brain disorder, macrocephaly, and facial anomalies. The first brother presented at birth, the second was detected prenatally with DWC and the pregnancy terminated. Fetal brain histopathology showed DWC associated with brainstem dysgenesis. Inheritance is likely autosomal or X-linked recessive. An extensive review of the differential diagnosis of DWC is provided.

Abstract
Six familial cases of the Beemer-Langer syndrome (BLS) were analyzed to further elucidate the spectrum and frequency of anomalies observed in this disorder. Preaxial polydactyly was found in 3/6 affected sibs, and, therefore, its frequency previously may have been underestimated. Some patients, described as infants affected with the Majewski syndrome (MS) or "atypical" short rib-polydactyly conditions, may indeed have BLS. A high frequency of brain defects (16/26) and cleft tongue, oral frenula, and/or natal teeth (13/29) widens the list of typical findings in this syndrome. The specific type of tibial defect seems to be the most important discrimination of the MS and the BLS.

Abstract
We report two new unrelated infants with short rib-polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) whose clinical and radiological features overlap the four established forms of lethal SRPS, so that it is difficult to classify them into any one particular type. One of the babies had one of the most radiologically severe SRPS ever published. The patients presented here support the previously reported hypothesis that this group of disorders might be a continuous spectrum rather than separate entities.

Abstract
We describe two patients with short rib-polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) from two unrelated Spanish families. These patients present clinical and radiological characteristics that overlap those of the different established types of SRPS. In addition, one patient had anencephaly and the other patient had severe brain abnormalities with a family history of an older sister with anencephaly, and a brother diagnosed with SRPS. This second family is interesting in that the two affected brothers present with different clinical and radiological findings; for example, one had ovoid tibiae and the other did not. This particular family shows that intrafamiliar variation is also observed within SRPS. It remains unsettled whether these cases might be considered a new type of SRPS or a variant of an established entity or whether the differences between the SRPS represent variability or heterogeneity. Molecular studies may answer this question in the near future.

Abstract
This white infant, born at 37 weeks of gestation, had a large cranium, bilateral anophthalmia, a midline cleft lip and palate, hypoplastic chest with short ribs, slightly protuberant abdomen, short limbs, bilateral single transverse palmar creases, a single umbilical artery, normal female external genitalia, normal (46 XY) chromosomes, and radiographic findings suggesting a short-rib (polydactyly) syndrome type IV (Beemer-Langer). Autopsy showed pulmonary hypoplasia, bilateral renal cystic dysplasia, intrahepatic bile duct cysts with periportal fibrosis, pancreatic cysts, absent internal genitalia, an atrophic optic chiasm, absent optic nerves, a single left anterior cerebral artery, polymicrogyria, and fusion of the frontal lobes, preoptic region, mammillary bodies, and thalami.
