Q

Which gene results in TCS?

A

Most cases caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene TCOF1 which encodes the protein Treacle.

Other TCS cases caused by mutations to the genes POLR1D and POLR1C which encode subunits of the enzymes RNA Polymerase I and III, important RNA synthesis.

Q

What are the mutations of the TCOF1 gene that cause TCS?

A

The majority are deletions, which range in size from 1- 40 nucleotides.

however others have been found; splicing, insertions and non-sense mutations.

Q

Fontanelles

A

The space where 2 sutures join forms a membrane-covered “soft spot” called a fontanelle. The fontanelles allow for growth of the brain and skull during an infant’s first year.

Q

Describe the mechanism for remodelling of the skull

A

Bones move apart, theres infill mechanism. Within the skulls there’s resorption on the inside, and deposition on the outside.

Q

Turricephaly

A

The head appears tall with a small length and width. It is due to premature closure of the coronal suture plus any other suture, like the lambdoid, or it may be used to describe the premature fusion of all sutures.

Q

Plagiocephaly

A

The head is flattened on one side, causing it to look asymmetrical; the ears may be misaligned and the head looks like a parallelogram when seen from above, and sometimes the forehead and face may bulge a little on the flat side.

Q

Cloverleaf skull

A

Cloverleaf deformity is a genetic disorder that children inherit from parents. Mutated genes cause sutures to fuse together prematurely (craniosynostosis). The coronal (from ear to ear) and lambdoid (across the back of the head) sutures are most commonly involved.

Q

What happens to the chondrocranium throughout development?

A

Starts off as cartilage which is then replace by bone (endochondral ossification). Cartilage is interposed between large section of bone, which form the ethmoid, sphenoid and basioccipital bones.

23
Q

Synchondroses of the cranial base

A

Primary growth centres, facilitate expansion.

The cranial base synchondrosis is composed of a combination of hyaline and fibrous cartilages. During skeletal maturation, chondrocytes proliferate, differentiate into pre-hypertrophic chondrocytes and are eventually replaced by bones at the chondro-osseous junction.

24
Q

Function of displacement remodelling

A

Allows the face to shape forwards and outwards.
Areas of deposition and resorption.

25
Q

What is the precursor of the mandible (in embryonic development)?

A

Meckels cartilage (osteogenesis takes place replacing this with bone).

26
Q

What do Homeobox genes have a role in controlling?

A

Craniofacial morphogenesis

27
Q

Neural crest cells

A

A multipotent and migratory cell population in the developing embryo that contribute to the formation of a wide range of tissues.

Make up the ectomesenchyme of first branchial arch derived from the NCC.

28
Q

Examples of homeobox genes involved in the initiation, developmental position (patterning) and morphodifferentiation of tooth buds.

A

MSX1 and MSX2

29
Q

Examples of mesenchymal growth factors

A

FGF, EGF, TGF and BMPs

30
Q

hemifacial microsomia

A

Bursting of an artery (hemmorage) causes absence of ramus and body of the mandible.

31
Q

Timing of palatal fusion: primary palate fusion

A

Week 6, day 44

32
Q

Timing of palatal fusion: palatal shelves elevate

A

Week 7, day 54

33
Q

Timing of palatal fusion: secondary palate fusion

A

Week 8, day 58

34
Q

Embryonic development: week 2

A

Bilaminar embryonic disc; germ layers are created known as “embryonic cell layers”.

Ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm

And neural crest cells.

35
Q

Embryonic development: week 3

A

Disc has thickened to a TRIlaminar embryonic disc.
The epiblast layer is now considered the ectoderm.

36
Q

Embryonic development: week 4

A

The disc undergoes embryonic folding, this establishes the axis, which places forming tissue types into their proper positions. Is like a “tubular embryo”.

37
Q

Dynamic interactions

A

Happen quickly

38
Q

Reciprocal interactions

A

One in control then other

39
Q

Sequential interactions

A

One in control then other

40
Q

Instructive tissue interactions

A

the ability of one tissue to determine specificpatterns of morphogenesis and differentiation that will developin an associated tissue.

41
Q

Permissive (or facilitative) tissue interactions

A

the ability of an interacting tissue toprovide certain conditions that is necessary for its committedpartner tissue to progress to full expression of its pre-determined phenotype.

42
Q

TCS: abnormalities

A
  1. Facial bone hypoplasia (mandible and zygoma)
  2. Ear abnormalities
  3. Clefts
  4. Dental anomalies (tooth agenesis, enamel deformities, misplacement of upper 6s)
43

Muscles of larynx
Nerve: vagus X - inf. laryngeal nerve

Q

What happens to the 2nd-6th clefts?

A
