Syndromes | Somatic Findings | Uterine Anomaly | Etiology |
---|---|---|---|
Deletion 4p (Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome) | Microcephaly, mental retardation, growth retardation, cardiac anomalies | Absent uterus | Chromosomal [del (4)(p16.3] |
Oculoauriculovertebral spectrum (Goldenhar syndrome) | Hypoplastic malar, maxillary and mandibular regions, microtia, hemivertebrae or hypoplastic vertebrae | “Rokitansky sequence” | Unknown: multifactorial, epigenetic inheritance, environmental disruption |
Female pseudohermaphroditism, renal and gastrointestinal anomalies | Genital ambiguity, urologic and gastrointestinal anomalies, vertebral and radial anomalies, renal absence | Absence of uterus | Unknown |
Al-Awadi/Raas-Rothschild | Absence or reduction of limbs, facial abnormalities, pelvic and genital abnormalities | Müllerian aplasia | Autosomal recessive WNT7A Mutation |
Müllerian aplasia, Klippel-Feil anomaly | Short neck, low hairline, restricted mobility of upper spine, middle ear anomalies | Müllerian aplasia | Unknown |
MURCS association | Müllerian aplasia, renal aplasia, cervicothoracic somite dysplasia | Müllerian aplasia | Unknown |
Roberts | Tetraphocomelia, craniofacial abnormalities, corneal clouding, cardiac and renal anomalies | Agenesis of uterus and agenesis or atresia of vagina | Autosomal recessive ESCO2 Mutation |
Thalidomide embryopathy | Tetraphocomelia, midline facial hemangioma, nerve palsies, cardiac defects | Müllerian aplasia | Teratogen |
Mosaic trisomy 7 | Cystic kidneys, oligohydramnios | Absence of uterus | Chromosomal |
Urogenital dysplasia (hereditary renal dysplasia) | Potter facies, Pulmonary hypoplasias, limb deformations, renal dysplasia | Absence of uterus | Unknown: multifactorial, epigenetic inheritance |
Listed here are genetic syndromes that may be associated with Müllerian aplasia. Other phenotypic characteristics of the genetic syndromes, modes of inheritance, and known genetic mutations are presented.
