6.8 Proposed New Classication
System
Important in craniofacial malformation classication is the underlying genetic state, the embryologic disease pattern, and the clinical outcome
in respect to the resulting phenotype.
The proposed classication system is based on
a comprehensive three-axis genetic, pathogenetic,
and phenotype stratication 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 classication (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 stratication.
approach as used in this book is often used in
medicine. The phrase “axis of classication”
means a way of classifying and studying diseases. When utilizing an axis of classication 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 classication (Fig.6.16). Anatomy, for example, is the primary axis of classication 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 reect 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-

inuences, 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 classication system and to
integrate such systems into a broader framework
of craniofacial data, a specic 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 classication 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 efciently 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 classication 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
classications systems, it is hoped that future
approaches will promote more discussion and
cooperation in standardizing the classication 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 [1–3] (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 [4–6] (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 specic 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].

Laws ofInheritance

Gene
Fig. 7.3 Schematic representation of a gene
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 specic 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 specic 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 fulledged 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 classication. These
genetic disorders can be broadly classied 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
signicant 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 [10–13].
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 denitely 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 ofInheritance inSingle
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 sufces 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)

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
