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.

Historical Perspective

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

Classification

There is no stablished system for classification of OFCD.

Pathophysiology

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.[2]

Differentiating OFCD from other diseases

It is important to differentiate between OFCD syndrome and marfan syndrome. Patients with marfan syndrome present OFCD symptoms plus musculoskeletal, CNS, pulmonary and integumentary manifestation.[3]
It can be misrecognized as rubella embryopathy due to association of congenital cataract with cardiac anomalies.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of oculofaciocardiodental syndrome is based on genetic analysis and its symptoms such as:

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

Ocular Abnormalities

Others

Some patients may have:

Laboratory findings

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with OFCD

Electrocardiogram

In patients with OFCD, ECG is usually normal, though in patients with VSD, LV hypertrophy can be detected in ECG.

Management

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