Mandibular hypoplasia, glossoptosis, U‐shaped cleft palate (Pierre Robin anomaly), associated with bilateral index finger malformation and congenital heart disease are described in a male, newborn infant. Review of the features of seven previously published patients, in addition to the patient reported here, confirms the existence of a distinct dysmorphogenesis syndrome. Although all of these eight patients have been males, and most were sporadic, the etiology of this rare malformation syndrome is unknown.
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.
