Mental retardation with blepharo-naso-facial abnormalities and hand malformations: a new syndrome?

Clin Genet. 1992 Jan;41(1):22-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1992.tb03622.x.

Abstract

A syndrome involving facial abnormalities (telecanthus, epicanthus, broad flattened nose, large inverted W-shaped mouth and malformed ears), malformed extremities (camptodactyly, clinodactyly, interdigital webbing and joint hyperlaxity) and mental retardation is described in a girl at birth and at 11 years old. A comparison with Pashayan-Pruzansky syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome, VATER association, Marden-Walker syndrome and Tel-Hashomer syndrome is discussed. We suggest this patient represents a new malformation syndrome or an extreme phenotypic variant of one of the above-mentioned syndromes.
