1
Q

Describe the embryonic mechanism that is disrupted in cleft lip and palate.

Q

What feeding considerations are required for newborns with cleft lip and palate?

A

since palate is protective of food going into the nasal cavity and eustachean tube newborns typically have trouble feeding and require special nipples (bigger opening to increase the gravity of the milk and longer to direct the milk downwards
this prevents food from entering the eustachian tube and causing otitis media

Q

When are repairs done for clefting?

A

cleft lip is cosmetic and typically done in the first few years of life
cleft palate requires sufficient surrounding tissue growth and must be done later in life

25
Q

What is Treacher Collins Syndrome?

A

AD
mutations in the TCOF1 gene (though mosaicism and non-penetrance possible) which codes for treacle
mutations are loss of function to nucleolar phosphoprotein involved in ribosomal gene (the C-terminal, which is required for the localization to the nucleolas, is missing, making it unable to traffic)
treacher is expressed in the developing neural folds and mandibular arch

A

AR
rare

29
Q

What are the clinical features of Nager Syndrome/Preaxial Acrofacial Dysostosis?

A 
micrognathia
downslanting eyes
cleft palate
