6.8 Proposed New Classication System
Important in craniofacial malformation classi­cation is the underlying genetic state, the embry­ologic disease pattern, and the clinical outcome in respect to the resulting phenotype.
The proposed classication system is based on a comprehensive three-axis genetic, pathogenetic, and phenotype stratication approach (Fig.6.13). It is elaborated (1) on the developmental steps during embryogenesis and (2) the underlying genetic disturbance and (3) the resulting pheno­type. This primary classication (x-axis) system used in this book (Fig. 6.14) is based on the embryologic pathogenesis graduation as a leading and iterative arrangement. Figure 6.15 displays examples of the recently known genetic-clinical correlation of the diseases entities. As the book series Fundamentals of Craniofacial Malformations is conceptualized for basic researchers as well as for surgeons, all medical disciplines are incorporated in the stratication.
approach as used in this book is often used in medicine. The phrase “axis of classication” means a way of classifying and studying dis­eases. When utilizing an axis of classication for morbid conditions, diseases are assigned to a sys­tem of categories based on established criteria. Such criteria may be based on the affected part of the body (anatomy/phenotype), the nature of a disease process (pathophysiology, embryology), or genetic etiology. The ICD 10-CM is a typical example of an axis-related system of classica­tion (Fig.6.16). Anatomy, for example, is the pri­mary axis of classication of ICD-10-CM, as it was in ICD-9-CM.This is evident by the fact that most of the ICD-10-CM chapter titles reect dis­eases of a particular body system, such as “Diseases of the Respiratory System,” “Diseases of the Nervous System,” etc. ICD-10-CM employs many other axes as well, such as etiol­ogy, as found in Chap. 1 (“Certain Infectious and Parasitic Diseases”). A combination of multiple and diverse axes are used in classifying some dis-

inuences, embryologic development, and the resulting phenotype. This is an inherent problem in seldom diseases like craniofacial malforma­tions. One way to improve in future the approach to develop a modern classication system and to integrate such systems into a broader framework of craniofacial data, a specic ontology—the Ontology of Craniofacial Development and Malformation (OCDM)—was developed as part of a NIDCR- funded research network, FaceBase (https://www.facebase.org). The purpose of FaceBase is to provide diverse but standardized data to the craniofacial community and to facili­tate collaboration among investigators to advance craniofacial research. The goal of the OCDM is to provide a unifying framework to represent and standardize the set of terms and relationships used to capture different forms of craniofacial data, including clinical data, within FaceBase and integrate data types to maximize their utility and accessibility [34]. This way of information technology has a great promise for future classication systems. The sheer volume of data collected in analyzing genetics, in docu­mentation of phenotypes from 3D scans and omics data sets, generates massive and complex data sets. The size and heterogeneity of such data sets do not only pose new challenges to ef­ciently and effectively store data, but it is chal­lenging to develop new algorithms to gain insight into the cause-and-effect correlations between genetics, embryological pathogenetics, and dis­ease extent (phenotypic outcome).
It still remains in the future to develop an all­encompassing classication that will clarify (and include a correlation strength determination) the complex genetically driven morphopatho­genesis of the resulting craniofacial malforma­tion phenotype. By incorporation of limitations and challenges associated with using disparate classications systems, it is hoped that future approaches will promote more discussion and cooperation in standardizing the classication of craniofacial malformations.

7.1 DNA
DNA is a hereditary component of living organ­isms including humans. It is primarily located in the nucleus of a cell called the nuclear DNA, while a small portion of it may be present within the mitochondria referred to as the mitochondrial DNA.DNA stores its information in the form of a code comprising of four chemical bases, namely, adenine “A,” cytosine “C,” guanine “G,” and thymine “T.” The order or the sequence in which these bases pair up with each other forms the crux for the formation, development, and functioning of an organism. In humans, roughly about 3 billion bases take part in the creation of the double helix DNA structure [13] (Fig.7.1).

7.1.1 What Are Chromosomes?
Chromosomes are thread-like structures present within the nucleus of a cell. The tightly coiled DNA around the histone proteins forms the framework of a chromosome and stores the genetic information or code. In total, 23 pairs, i.e., 46 chromosomes, comprise the total DNA framework of a cell. Out of these, 22 pairs are autosomes, while 1 pair, i.e., X and Y, is the allo­somes or sex chromosomes [46] (Fig.7.2).
7.1.2 Then What Are Genes? Where
Are They Located?
The basic physical and functional unit of heredi­tary is a gene. It is a DNA segment where the nucleotides are arranged in a specic sequence. Depending on the number of bases, a gene may vary in size. Their main functions are (1) to code protein and (2) to control the transmission and

expression of the trait also depends on other fac­tors such as the penetrance (frequency of expres­sion of the trait in an individual) and expressivity (amount large enough of the trait to be expressed in an individual) [
3, 6].

expression of the traits procured through heredi­tary [6, 7] (Fig.7.3).
7.2 Alleles
Variant form of a gene is called an allele. Diploid organisms, like humans, have two alleles, each inherited from both the parents individually. These alleles are responsible for the phenotype (outward appearance) of an organism. The gen­otype of a particular gene is represented by each pair of alleles. If the two alleles are identical at a specic locus, then the genotype is homozy­gous, and if they differ, then they are heterozy­gous in nature. Further, alleles can be either dominant or recessive in expression of the trait. In heterozygous genotype with one allele domi­nant and another recessive, the dominant pheno­type is expressed. However, the phenotypic
Based on the general information acquired, it can be summarized that the specic sequence of arrangement of the nucleotides forms our genetic makeup which is unique to each and every indi­vidual. This is the reason why we appear differ­ent from each other. Such observations and curiosity drive the quest for better perception of oneself and our surroundings.
This was what drew Gregor Johann Mendel, a scientist and an abbot, to conduct a series of experiments on pea plants and put forth the rules of inheritance which not only gained him recog­nition but also earned him the title of “Father of Modern Genetics.” Mendel’s laws of inheritance have not only answered the questions on expres­sion and transmission of the inherited traits but also aided in the recognition of genetic disor­ders and the emergence and ourishment of geneticists [8, 9].
Inference drawn through his experiments pro­vided answers to most of the abstract content around us. The very actuality of genes, presence of genes in pairs, existence of alleles, and gametic content are some of the observations protracted from his experiments. Further, he was able to deduce that the expression of the trait depends on the presence of an allele of either recessive/domi­nant phenotype.
The fundamental laws of inheritance can be broadly encapsulated as:
1. Law of segregation
2. Law of independent assortment
3. Law of dominance
These laws laid the very foundation of full­edged research in the eld of genetics in man­kind. Sequencing of human genome has not only

provided us information on our genetic heritage but also helped us to understand the pattern of inheritance accompanied by unraveling the com­plex network of genetic events that contributes to a disease [3, 8, 9].
7.2.2 What Are Genetic Disorders?
In general, diseases which are a result of change in part or whole of the normal sequence of DNA are referred to as genetic disorders. Therefore, the mutations of a gene, i.e., any permanent alter­ation of the normal sequence of the DNA, e.g., thalassemia, either through inherited or environ­mental factors and even a combination of both are considered to be the prime culprits of genetic disorders [8, 9].
The ideology of classifying the genetic disor­ders is primarily dependent on the parameters such as the genes and the genetic-environmental interactions. Therefore, it is more of a gene­centric and factor-centric classication. These genetic disorders can be broadly classied into:
1. Single gene disorders
2. Chromosomal disorders
3. Multifactorial genetic disorders
Mitochondrial DNA present within the mito­chondria of a cell can undergo mutations too, hence termed as mitochondrial disorders which also can be included under genetic disorders.
The estimated frequency of the genetic disor­ders in humans is 670 per 1000 which is quite a signicant number of cases. Hence, the biologi­cal basis of these disorders forms the crucial link to understand their modes of inheritance, their penetrance, and expressivity of the inherited traits [1013].
ciples. Therefore, they are also referred to as Mendelian disorders/diseases [
In general, we do come across numerous cases of complex disorders, for example, type II diabetes, which are more common and lifestyle oriented and their onset is manifested later in life. On the other hand, these single gene disorders are denitely not rare and are far more numerous than we generally assume. In contrast to the complex disorders, they manifest early in life, may present with severe con­ditions, and require support and care throughout life. Moreover, recent molecular studies have also provided evidence suggesting that these single gene disorders may also play a vital role in the etiopatho­genesis of several complex/multifactorial disorders. Responsibility lies with us to have a thorough knowledge on the biological assembly of genes and their mutations to delineate its recognition and molecular makeup to aid in the early diagnosis, screening, and necessary counselling for the well­being of mankind [

7.2.4 Mode ofInheritance inSingle
Gene Disorder
Determining the probabilities of trait recurrence in the successive generation establishes the pattern of inheritance. In these disorders it is based on the Mendel’s principles. More than one version of genes exists either due to mutations or polymor­phism which are termed as alleles. The inheritance of the single gene disorders is either based on the location of the gene or depends on the number of copies of the genes required to express the pheno­typic features of the disorder. Having said that, mutated allele expression in relation to the normal allele may either be dominant, recessive, or even co-dominant in nature [3, 10, 15]. Based on these features, the pattern of inheritance for the single gene disorders can be broadly listed as:
7.2.3 Single Gene Disorders
Single gene disorders are those disorders where the change in the sequence of the DNA is known to occur in a single gene. The inheritance pattern of these disorders is based on the Mendel’s prin-
1. Autosomal dominant inheritance
Dominant genotypic inheritance is present in a heterozygous individual where a single copy of mutant allele sufces for the manifes­tation of the disease. Presents with vertical mode of transmission, affecting both the gen-

ders equally. 50% risk of transmitting the mutant allele lies with the affected individual. E.g., achondroplasia (Fig.7.4)
2. Autosomal recessive inheritance Recessive genotypic inheritance is seen in
homozygous individual requiring two copies of mutant allele for the expression of the disease. Only one mutant allele leads to the failure of expression of the disease with the individual being a carrier. In case both the individuals are carries, the resultant offspring will have a 25% chance of inheritance and expression of the dis­ease. E.g., cystic brosis (Fig.7.5)
3. X-linked dominant inheritance In this mode of inheritance, the sex chro-
mosome/allosomes are involved. X chromo-
some houses the mutant allele where even a single copy is responsible for the expression of the disease. The features are similar to the autosomal pattern of inheritance. However, the mutant allele will be transmitted to female offspring but not to the male offspring of the affected male. E.g., α-thalassemia (Fig.7.6)
4. X-linked recessive inheritance Males are predominantly affected due to
their hemizygyous state for most of the genes on X chromosome. In this mode of inheri­tance, the resultant male offspring will have 50% chance of inheritance of the disease, while female progeny will become a carrier. E.g., hemophilia (Fig.7.7)

Possible progeny of affected father with a dominant mutant gene and unaffected mother would either be an affected male or female offspring possessing one domi­nant mutant gene and normal gene or unaffected male and female offspring with normal genes. (Purple indicates dominant mutant gene; green indicates normal gene)
Fig. 7.5 Autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.
Possible progeny of carrier father and carrier mother each with one recessive mutant gene and a normal gene would either be an affected female offspring possessing both the recessive mutant gene or unaffected male with normal genes or carrier female/male possessing one recessive and one normal gene. (Purple indicates recessive mutant gene; green indicates normal gene)
