Pallister-Killian Syndrome
DESCRIPTION
Pallister-Killian Syndrome can also be found with the following
Synonyms:
  • Chromosome 12, Isochromosome 12p Mosaic
  • Killian Syndrome
  • Killian/Teschler-Nicola Syndrome
  • Pallister Mosaic Syndrome
  • Pallister Mosaic Syndrome Tetrasomy 12p
According to the NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders) Pallister-Killian Mosaic Syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder that occurs for no apparent reason. Major symptoms may include a coarse face with a high forehead, sparse hair on the scalp, an abnormally wide space between the eyes, a fold of the skin over the inner corner of the eyes, and a broad nasal bridge with a highly arched palate. Mental retardation, loss of muscle tone, and streaks of skin lacking color are often present. SYMPTOMS: Patients with Pallister-Killian Mosaic Syndrome typically have low muscle tone at birth, sparse scalp hair at birth, a high forehead, a coarse face, an abnormally wide space between the eyes, a broad nasal bridge, a highly arched palate, a fold of the skin over the inner corner of the eyes, and large ears with lobes that are thick and protrude outward.
Other features frequently found in patients with this disorder may include: streaks of skin in which there is no color (hypopigmentation), extra nipples, seizures at birth, droopy upper eyelids, crossed eyes (strabismus), joints that will not move (contractures), and delays in perceiving, recognizing, judging, sensing, reasoning or imagining (cognitive delays).

Pallister-Killian Syndrome
Phil's story - by Andrea Colasanti
(andrea@pk-syndrome.org)
Filippo (Phil) Colasanti was born in Rome, ITALY, on 7th September 1996 after 39 weeks of pregnancy. His weight at birth was 3,750 Kg. His mother suffered from polyhydramnios probably caused by PKS. She also had an amniocentesis but the syndrome didn't show up. He suffered from breathing problems (distress) and he was in the Neonatal Intensive Care nursery for 4 weeks. He had low muscle tone at birth, sparse scalp hair, a high forehead , a wide space between the eyes, a broad nasal bridge and hypopigmentation (streaks of skin in which there is no colour). I will never forget many of the sensations I had during the first days of Phil's life. The first time I saw him with tubes and wires, the long time he spent in the hospital (4 weeks) with the daily visits taking hundreds of kilometres. The vague explanation that doctors gave us.
We are Italians and we live in Rome. We didn't receive very good support from the Italian medical system at the beginning and we wasted a lot of time in finding the right specialists. PKS is still quite unknown in Italy. At the beginning we wasted a lot of time and money with doctors asserting the strangest hypothesis like the percentage of iron in his blood. One doctor told us that the child was almost perfect, another one told us that he was in terrible conditions. We were really confused and sad.

Síndrome de Pallister-Killian - PKS Teschler Nicola e Killian descreveram uma paciente com 3 anos de idade com esse distúrbio, em 1981. Um segundo caso foi relatado por Schroer e Stevenson, em 1983. Subsequentemente foi reconhecido que dois adultos com um fenótipo similar e mosaicismo para um cromossomo marcados descrito por Pallister et al., em 1976, apresentavam a mesma condição. Recentemente, a tetrassomia 12p, seja em mosaico ou total, foi documentada em fibroblastos da pele de indivíduos afetados, mas não no sangue periférico. ANORMALIDADES Crescimento .

http://www.cpdx.com/cpdx/palliste.htm
Pallister-Killian Syndrome
PRESENTATION
Obstetrical patient presented for evaluation of fetal hydramnios, short limbs and sacral appendage at 32 weeks gestation
FINDINGS
Targeted ultrasound examination confirms fetal hydramnios, short limbs and sacral appendage. In addition, Dandy-Walker Malformation and diaphragmatic defect were revealed.
MANAGEMENT
Amniocentesis was performed. Karyotype showed 46,XY/47,XY + i(12p) identified by G-banded metaphases and FISH analysis. Tetrasomy was observed in 18 of 20 colonies.
DIAGNOSIS
Tetrasomy 12p is consistent with Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS).
OUTCOME
Spontaneous vaginal delivery of male infant at 35 weeks 5 days. Infant was intubated. Diaphragmatic hernia was confirmed through X-ray, baby was extubated and expired shortly thereafter.
DISCUSSION
A review of the literature indicates that all Pallister-Killian fetuses with diaphragmatic defects die shortly after birth. Hydramnios, short limbs and diaphragmatic defects are common in PKS. Sacral appendage has been reported in association with PKS. Hydrocephalus is also reported in PKS. This case appears to be the first associated with Dandy-Walker malformation. The extra chromosome is often not found in peripheral lymphocytes and may be lost in cultured cell lines. If cordocentesis had been used to obtain tissue for cytogenetics in this case, as it often is in the third trimester, the extra chromosome confirming the diagnosis of PKS may not have been found. The clinical features of PKS resemble Fryns syndrome, an autosomal recessive condition, which may have been diagnosed in the absence of an accurate karyotype. When diaphragmatic defect in association with other anomalies is detected in late gestation, an amniotic fluid sample rather than fetal blood sample would enable exclusion or confirmation of PKS. Once a correct diagnosis is made, appropriate prognosis and recurrence risk counseling can be provided to the patient.

yes no PKS affects both males and females equally. The condition is present at birth and the oldest known individuals with PKS are in their forties. The major symptoms of PKS include a characteristic facial appearance, learning difficulties , seizures (see entry, epilepsy ), loss of muscle tone ( hypotonia ) and streaks of skin in which there is no colour (hypopigmentation) or darker skin colour than normal (hyperpigmentation) anywhere on the body. Individuals may show some or all of these features and, in addition, may be differently affected in the severity of their symptoms. Typically individuals with PKS have a high forehead, sparse hair on the temple region of the scalp and eyebrows, an abnormally wide space between the eyes, a fold of skin over the inner corner of the eyes and a flat nose. At birth infants with PKS are profoundly hypotonic (floppy) and this may persist into later life. Between the ages of 5 and 10 years, children may have stiffness of joints (contractures). Children are almost always developmentally delayed with learning difficulties and minimal speech. Seizures may occur during infancy. Difficulties with vision (see entry
