Clin Dysmorphol. 2006 Apr;15(2):89-93. doi: 10.1097/01.mcd.0000194407.92676.9d.

Abstract

We present a case of Beare-Stevenson syndrome with a broad range of phenotypic features including craniosynostosis, cutis gyrata, choanal stenosis, bifid scrotum with perineal hypospadias and a caudal appendage. The paternal age at the time of conception was 62 years consistent with a paternal age effect. Mutation analysis was undertaken and demonstrated the FGFR2 Y375C mutation. This case, one of only nine with molecular analysis, confirms the significant morbidity associated with this syndrome.
