Overview

Oculofaciocardiodental syndrome (OFCD) is a rare congenital condition affecting eyes, heart, face and teeth. This syndrome is a X-linked syndrome and it has been seen in heterygous female only. Due to its lethal affects on male, there has been no report of affected male. Common signs ad symptoms include cataract, small deep-set eyes, long narrow face, heart defects and teeth with large roots.

Incidence

Oculofaciocardiodental syndrome is very rare; the incidence is estimated to be less than 1 in 1 million people.

Genetics

The genetic analysis in oculofaciocardiodental syndrome patients shows mutations in BCOR gene on chromosome Xp11.4 which has functions like maintaining tissue homeostasis and gene silencing by epigenetic mechanisms. BCOR gene provides instructions for making BCL6 corepressor protein. The BCL6 corepressor play an essential role in early embryonic development, including the formation of the eyes and several other tissues and organs like cardiovascular system and face tissues. It can also involve in specifying the left and right sides of the body in the developing embryo.[1]

Historical Aspect of Oculofaciocardiodental Syndrome

OFCD initially was described by Hayward, an oral surgen, in 1980 as ocular, facial, cardiac and dental abnormalities. In 1999, Schulze BR discovered that this syndrome has lethal affects on effected males and it has been seen in only heterozygous females. Further investigations by Hayward and Schulze indicated that OFCD has ocular problems like congenital cataract, microphthalmia as well as cardiac symptoms like atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and mitral valve prolapse. Its dental characteristics including delayed tooth eruption and prolonged retention of primary teeth were described in 1990 by Marashi and Gorlin.[2]

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of oculofaciocardiodental syndrome is hard for medical specialists and the syndrome is often unrecognized.

Cardiac Abnormalities

Dental Abnormalities

The specific dental findings (visible on a panoramic radiograph of the jaws) can be easily diagnosed by an orthodontist or a dentist.

  • Radiculomegaly: The most consistent and pathognomic dental finding of oculofaciocardiodental syndrome is radiculomegaly (extremely long roots), particularly of the canines and occasionally of other teeth including premolars and incisors.
  • Slow and delayed dental eruption: The dental eruption in both the deciduous and the permanent dentition is consistently slow and delayed.
  • Oligodontia
  • Fused teeth
  • Supernumerary teeth
  • Malformed permanent teeth
  • Enamel defects
  • Root dilacerations
  • Malposition
  • Malocclusion

Inheritance

This condition is inherited in an X-linked dominant pattern. The gene associated with this condition is located on the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes. In females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation in one of the two copies of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. Some cells produce a normal amount of BCL6 co-repressor protein and other cells produce none. The resulting overall reduction in the amount of this protein leads to the signs and symptoms of OFCD syndrome.

In males (who have only one X chromosome), mutations result in a total loss of the BCL6 co-repressor protein. A lack of this protein appears to be lethal very early in development, so no males are born with OFCD syndrome.

Management

Management of oculofaciocardiodental syndrome requires appropriate cardiac, ophthalmic and dental care.
