Extractions: TRPS I Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type I (TRPS1) is an extremely rare inherited multisystem disorder. TRPS1 is characterized by thin, sparse scalp hair, unusual facial features, abnormalities of the fingers and/or toes, and multiple abnormalities of the "growing ends" (epiphyses) of the bones (skeletal dysplasia), especially in the hands and feet. Characteristic facial features may include a rounded (bulbous) "pear-shaped" nose, an abnormally small jaw (micrognathia), dental anomalies, and/or unusually large (prominent) ears.
Extractions: helpful? yes no Langer-Giedion syndrome: Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome Type II Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS) is named after the two doctors who undertook the main research into the condition in the 1960s. It is a very rare condition and diagnosis is usually made at birth or in early childhood. LGS is caused by a small deletion of chromosomal material. A chromosome is a thread-like structure which is present in the nucleus of all body cells. The chromosomes carry the genes which are the instructions about how to make a new baby from a sperm and an egg. Genes are 'strung' along chromosomes rather like beads are strung along a necklace. In LGS a small piece of the 8th chromosome is missing (or deleted) comprising a number of genes. The loss of these genes is responsible for some of the overall characteristics of LGS. The features associated with this condition include mild to moderate learning difficulties, short stature, unique facial features, small head (microcephaly) and skeletal abnormalities including bony growths projecting from the surfaces of bones. These may include benign bony growths on various bones of the body or cone-shaped extensions on the growing ends (epiphyses) of certain bones, particularly in the hands, and specific craniofacial features. Typically individuals with LGS have fine scalp hair, ears which may be large or prominent, broad eyebrows, deep-set eyes, bulbous nose, long narrow upper lip and missing teeth.

Both syndromes exhibit significant phenotypic variability and most likely represent a contiguous gene deletion syndrome, with the deletion causing LGS including a gene for multiple exostoses ( ). The deletion causing trichorhinophalangeal syndrome includes the gene TRPSI Clinical Features: Langer-Giedion syndrome is characterized by unusual facial features, mental retardation and multiple exostoses.

Langer=-Giedion Syndrome langergiedion syndrome. (Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome, Type II). This Syndrome can also go under the name of langer-giedion syndrome . http://www.dickibus.co.uk/lgs.htm
Extractions: stand still and he obeyed him. Langer-Giedion Syndrome (Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome, Type II) This Syndrome can also go under the name of "Langer-Giedion Syndrome". A good patient's (non-jargon) description of it can be found at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/LGS-GD.html , and a doctor's (very jargony) description at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/lgs.html . The Home Page centring on LGS ican be found at http://wimp.nsm.uh.edu/LGS.htm l (University of Houston). Basically, I think (and I am not a qualified MD - in fact, I never even studied Biology at school... preferred Physics and Chemistry instead.. all 4-7 years of it!) that it occurs when one gene, or a part of it, is missing. In other words, it's a genetically based condition. It comes in two parts..... EXT1, which causes growths (benign cancers?) on bones, and another (named TRPSI by the medical/gene world) which puts a sort of a cone onto some of the growing ends of the bones. What happens when the kid grows up, and stops growing, I have yet to find out! There are other signs which some, but not all, patients have... such as being short, having folds in their skins when they're still kids (young kids, at that), and (sometimes) double-jointedness. To have one, two, or even all of these body traits is not to say "LGS", but rather that someone with LGS is more liable to also fit one or more of these descriptions.
