Sindrome di Fraser OMIM 219000

Sindrome di Fraser  OMIM 219000

E' una sindrome trasmessa con carattere autosomico recessivo legata a mutazioni del gene FRAS1 che mappa in 4q21.
E' caratterizzata da sindattilia,  anomalie cranio-facciali e anomalie del tratto urogenitale. Le anomalie cranio-facciali sono caratterizzate da criptoftalmo, bilaterale o unilaterale, labiopalatoschisi monolaterale, malformazioni dei dotti lacrimali, anomalie dell'orecchio con conseguente sordità congenita, atresia laringea, palato ogivale. Le anomalie dell'apparato urogenitale sono rappresentate da  anomalie dei genitali, con atresia della vagina, utero bicorne, ipertrofia clitoridea nelle femmine,  ipospadia, criptorchidismo, pene piccolo nei maschi; agenesia/displasia renale uni/bilaterale. 
Possono essere presenti cardiopatie congenite, anomalie cerebrali (ipoplasia del verme cerebellare).
La prognosi è legata alla severità delle anomalie renali e laringee. 

La diagnosi ecografica si basa sulla presenza di microftalmia, sindattilia, polmoni iperecogeni aumentati di volume, oligoidramnios, labiopalatoschisi, agenesia renale bilaterate, cardiopatie congenite, ipoplasia del verme cerebellare.
