A boy is described with clinical features including post-natal short stature, short limbs, speech delay, relatively large skull, prominent metopic ridge, wide palpebral fissures, proptosis, epicanthic folds, capillary hemangioma between the eyes and nose, flat nasal bridge, everted and small nares, small ears with a narrow external auditory canal and thick lobes, short neck, brachydactyly, bilateral Simian creases, a single flexion crease of the first and fifth fingers, protruding abdomen, and bilateral cryptorchidism. Radiographs did not show any features of bone dysplasia. However, a delayed bone age was noted. The boy's parents are first cousins. To the best of our knowledge, this constellation of anomalies has not been reported before, and may be considered a new syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
