Modelling and solving the thesis defense timetabling problem∗

A mother and a daughter affected with multiple trichoepithelioma were studied. The age of onset of the symptomatology in both was 7-years-old, the daughter being more severely affected than the mother at this age. This early age of onset is an exceptional observation which could be explained by maternal imprinting

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome: Further clinical delineation

Zimmermann-Laband syndrome: further clinical delineation: Zimmermann-Laband syndrome (ZLS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by gingival fibromatosis, absent or dysplastic distal phalanges, vertebral defects, hepatosplenomegaly, hypertrichosis and sometimes mental retardation. We describe two unrelated patients, a girl aged 9 years and a boy 11 months whose clinical and radiological findings permit us to diagnose the ZLS. Body overgrowth, present in both patients, was identified as a main clinical feature not previously reported as well as the presence in neuroimaging studies of a cavernous hemangioma on the frontal and the left cerebellar regions in the boy. The girl also presented important radiological characteristics such as broad medulary canals and metaphyses of long bones, thin cortices, broad ribs, accelerated skeletal maturation as well as high intelligence level. A wide clinical spectrum in ZLS is also considered
