  • Title: Fryns syndrome phenotype and trisomy 22.
    Author: Ladonne JM, Gaillard D, Carré-Pigeon F, Gabriel R.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1996 Jan 02; 61(1):68-70. PubMed ID: 8741922.
    Abstract:
    Trisomy 22 was detected in a 32-week-old fetus born to an overweight mother with hypertension. Severe intrauterine growth retardation was associated with phenotypic manifestations of Fryns syndrome: diaphragmatic hernia, facial defects, and nail hypoplasia with short distal fifth phalanges. This is the second report of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in trisomy 22. This case demonstrates the importance of karyotyping malformed fetuses or newborns, even if a nonchromosome syndrome seems identifiable on clinical grounds. To date, at least 10 cases of Fryns syndrome have been reported without chromosome analysis.
