Disease Profile

Maxillonasal dysplasia, Binder type

Prevalence
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance

Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.

Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.

X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.

X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.

Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.

Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Orpha Number: 1248

Definition
Binder syndrome is a rare developmental anomaly, affecting primarily the anterior part of the maxilla and nasal complex.

Epidemiology
Binder syndrome occurs in less than one birth in 10,000 but is probably underdiagnosed.

Clinical description
Affected individuals typically have an unusually flat, underdeveloped midface (midfacial hypoplasia), with an abnormally short nose and flat nasal bridge, underdeveloped upper jaw, relatively protruding lower jaw and/or a 'reverse overbite'' (or class III malocclusion). Hypoplasia of distal phalanges of fingers was reported in some cases.

Etiology
The etiology and pathogenesis of Binder syndrome remains uncertain.

Differential diagnosis
Phenocopies of Binder syndrome have been described in children exposed in utero to phenytoin or to vitamin K deficiency, being induced either by drug (anticoagulants) or by biliary lithiasis. Some authors consider Binder syndrome as an allelic form of chondrodysplasia punctata. Others suggest that Binder type maxillonasal dysplasia does not represent a distinct disease entity or syndrome, but rather is a nonspecific abnormality of the nasomaxillary regions.

Antenatal diagnosis
Prenatal diagnosis by two and three-dimensional ultrasound is possible (visualization of flat profile; bone hypoplasia) from 20-22 weeks of gestation.

Genetic counseling
Most reported cases were sporadic. A few cases of recurrence in pedigrees could be explained by either autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance or by multifactorial etiology.

Management and treatment
Since the degree of malformation in Binder syndrome varies significantly, surgical correction (orthodontic, plastic surgery) needs to be tailored individually.

Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
