Subjects were grouped on the basis of postnatal diagnosis: (1) RS (micrognathia, glossoptosis, airway obstruction), (2) micrognathia without airway obstruction ("micrognathia"), (3) cleft lip and palate ("CLP"), and (4) gestational age-matched controls.

Eif4a3 haploinsufficient embryos presented altered mandibular process fusion and micrognathia, thus recapitulating the most penetrant phenotypes of the syndrome.
The NFNS phenotype may be the final result of a combination of a genetic factor (a mutation in the NF1 gene) and an environmental factor with the epigenetic effects of muscle hypotonia (such as hydantoin in the reported Greek family), causing hypoplasia of the face and micrognathia.
The failure in palate elevation in Wnt1-Cre;Tak1(F/F) mice results from a malformed tongue and micrognathia, resembling human Pierre Robin sequence cleft of the secondary palate.
Sequencing of KCNJ2 revealed the R218W mutation in the index patient and her 6-year-old daughter, who presented dysmorphic abnormalities (micrognathia, clinodactyly of fourth and fifth fingers, short stature) and OSA.
This comprehensive approach to expression profiling gives insights into the early development of the craniofacial region and provides markers for developmental structures and candidate genes, including SET and CCT3, for diseases such as orofacial clefting and micrognathia.

A girl with a 46,X,t(X;21) (q13.3;p11.1) karyotype presented with skin redundancy, especially in the neck, prominent occiput and micrognathia, and later developed hypotonia, hypopigmentation, sparse scalp hair, and profound mental retardation characteristic of Menkes disease.
Phenotypic and molecular characterisation of CDK13-related congenital heart defects, dysmorphic facial features and intellectual developmental disorders.
