Özet
Even though responsible genetic loci and mode of inheritance for the Rieger syndrome have been well established, the mode of inheritance and the genetic basis for SHORT syndrome are still uncertain. The purpose of this paper is to document a familial translocation of t(l;4)(q31.2;q25), in a mother and her son manifesting Rieger syndrome with polycystic ovaries and SHORT syndrome, respectively. It is suggested that these two syndromes may be different expressions of the same gene, PITX2, localized at 4q25. Our patient is the second with the association of Rieger syndrome and polycystic ovaries, and thus this may not be coincidental, moreover insulin resistance-related phenotypes, such as lipodystrophy and polycystic ovaries, can be major component of syndromes with Rieger eye malformation.
