BackgroundMalpuech–Michels–Mingarelli–Carnevale (3MC) syndrome consists of a combination of four autosomal recessive syndromes that were considered to be different syndromes previously. These syndromes are Carnevale, Mingarelli, Malpuech, and Michels syndromes, respectively. Carnevale syndrome is characterized by hypertelorism, downslanting palpebral fissures, strabismus, ptosis, synophrys, large and fleshy ears, and lozenge-shaped diastasis around the umbilicus (Carnevale et al., 1989). Mingarelli syndrome is similar to Carnevale syndrome, with spinal anomalies and humeroradial synostosis as additional features (Mingarelli et al., 1996). Malpuech syndrome involves intrauterine growth restriction, hypertelorism, cleft lip and palate, micropenis, hypospadias, caudal appendage, and renal anomalies (Kerstjens-Frederikse et al., 2005). The main features of Michels syndrome include craniosynostosis, epicanthus inversus, blepharophimosis, anterior chamber anomalies, and cleft lip and palate (Michels et al., 1978). Although these four entities have apparently distinctive key features, they share multiple similarities in the facial gestalt. Because of these similarities, it has been assumed that these four syndromes belong to the same condition referred to as ‘3MC syndrome’(Titomanlio et al., 2005). Homozygous mutations in either MASP1 or COLEC11 genes are the leading cause of 3MC syndrome. Recently, the COLEC10 gene was discovered as the cause of the disease. Here, we report three new patients with 3MC syndrome in a Turkish family. Sequence analysis of the MASP1 gene showed a novel homozygous missense mutation, c. 2111T> G (p. V704G), in the 11th exon.
