(B) Subject 2 (4 years old) with thin eyebrows, a depressed nasal bridge, a bulbous nasal tip, and protuberant ears. (C) Subject 3 (8 years old) with horizontal eyebrows, low-set ears, simple earlobes, and micrognathia. (D) Subject 4 (21 months old) with a round face, full cheeks, horizontal eyebrows, a depressed nasal bridge, anteverted nares, tented upper-lip vermillion, and microstomia. (E and F) Front (E) and side (F) views of subject 4 (9 years old) with a round face, full cheeks, horizontal eyebrows, an acute nasal angle, and fleshy pinna.

Figure 3 AHDC1 Genomic Organization (A) Chromosomal location of AHDC1 and the genomic region surrounding it. (B and C) Organization of AHDC1 (B) and the AT-hook DNA-binding region, conserved regions, and location of the three different truncating alterations in the disorder (C). The histogram shows evolutionary conservation (see Figure S3 for details).
