| Abstract |
|
The 4p_ syndrome results from structural deficiency of chromosome 4. We experienced a patient
of 4p~ syndrome who all features of already described Wolf syndrome, i.e., prominent glabella,
hypertelorism, broad beak nose, cleft lip and palate, kyphoscoliosis, hypospadia, etc.. Postmortem
examination revealed multiple visceral anomalies, including large atrial septal defect, diaphragmatic
eventration, intestinal malrotation, ankyloglossia, and hemivertebrae. The kidneys showed a marked
simple hypoplasia weighing 3.1 gm together. The fetal lobulation was completely effaced and a
marked reduction of reniculi was present. Histologically, the strata of glomeruli in the cortex were
about 3—4 and a remarkable reduction of the number of the glomerulus was noted, along with
glomerular enlargement and tubular dilatation.
Chromosome study of the patient showed 46, XY, del. ⑷(pl2:>, and the father and a brother of the
patient were found to have a balanced translocation, 46, XY, t(4;6)(pl2;p23).
This case suggests strongly that oligomeganephronia is causally related to 4p~ syndrome because
the kidney findings have not been fully evaluated in this syndrome in the literature. |
