Microphthalmia with linear skin defects (MLS) is a rare, congenital, X-linked dominant syndrome most commonly caused by terminal deletions of Xp (OMIM 30980). Inactivation of the holocytochrome c-type synthase gene (HCCS, Xp22. 2) has been implicated as the cause of many of the characteristic findings in MLS including linear skin defects, microphthalmia and other ocular anomalies, cardiac anomalies, and mild to severe mental retardation [Wimplinger et al., 2006, 2007]. Inactivation of HCCS is usually lethal in 46, XY males but several males with MLS and Xp; Yp translocations involving the sex-determining region Y gene (SRY) have been reported [Morleo et al., 2005; Kapur et al., 2008]. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is sometimes listed as a feature of MLS syndrome and terminal Xp deletions have been documented in at least four patients with CDH [Allanson and Richter, 1991; Plaja et al., 1994; Nowaczyk et al., 1998; Pober et al., 2005]. In all of these cases, the Xp deletions were defined by cytogenetic analyses without detailed molecular characterization.The patient reported here was a male child born to healthy, unrelated parents both of whom were of Caucasian/Hispanic descent. He has one healthy brother and three healthy maternal half-sisters. His mother also had one 12-week miscarriage with his father. At 20 weeks gestation, prenatal ultrasound showed a large, left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia with gastric herniation. Amniocentesis performed at 24 weeks gestation showed a 46, X, der-(X) t (X; Y)(p22. 3; p11. 3) chromosome complement. A FISH study for SRY (probe: Vysis LSI SRY, Abbott Molecular, Abbott Park, IL) confirmed its presence on the terminal short arm of the der (X) chromosome. Parental chromosome studies were normal. Bilateral cerebral ventriculomegaly was seen at 35 weeks gestation.
