Developmental Biology: What does Karen have?

On thursday night I decided to organize my youtube channel, upon looking at my homepage I realized that there was a new Skit Guys video, called Karen's Story after watching the video I decided to research what caused Karen's disease. Karen was born with Goldenhar syndrome, it is a inherited disease that effects the cardiac, renal, central nervous system and the genitourinary tract. Studies have shown that deletions on chromosome 5 are related to this syndrome. Another study I came across was of a intrauterin death of a child with Goldenhar syndrome, with ultra sound technology the parents knew that there were developmental defects with the child's heart. After the child was expelled from the womb further autopsy showed this child had an asymmetrical face and an inclined eye lid. There were many physical features consistent with Goldenhar syndrome in the child. I noticed that these were the same physical features that Karen had. Scientist are not certain of what cause the child's death.
