We describe a stillborn girl with an unclassified form of mandibulofacial dysostosis, a postaxial defect of the right, and a preaxial defect of the left hand. The Nager syndrome is characterized by preaxial limb defects, whereas the Genée-Wiedemann syndrome (= Miller syndrome) by postaxial limb defects. We briefly review the established acrofacial dysostoses (AFD) and discuss the position of our case in the current classification.
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.
