A newborn with ectrodactyly, tetralogy of Fallot, esophageal atresia, hypospadias and TP63 gene mutation: A new type of EEC Syndrome?

Abstract

EEC syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disease with incomplete penetrance characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and cleft lip/palate; these manifestations can differently occur in the affected subjects and can also be associated with other anomalies, such as in the urogenital tract. We reported the case of a newborn with prenatal diagnosis of EEC type 3 associated with severe cardiac abnormalities (Tetralogy of Fallot), high esophageal atresia with fistula and penoscrotal hypospadias.
