We describe a woman with dyskeratosis congenita (DKC), microcephaly, and a purple discoloration of the tongue. The latter findings are not commonly described in males with DKC, have been reported in another female patient with this condition, and may represent the phenotype of an autosomal recessive

β¦ Synopsis
We report on a brother and a sister with congenital nystagmus, cone-rod dysfunction, high myopia, and aplasia cutis congenita on the midline of the scalp vertex. To our knowledge this familial oculocutaneous condition, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, has not been reported previously.

The simultaneous appearance of epidermolysis bullosa and pyloric atresia (EB-PA) is recognized as an autosomal recessive disease; however, the coappearance of EB-PA and aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) has not been delineated as a defined entity. The aim of this study was to analyze clinically and hist
Nonprogressive cerebellar hypoplasia was first described by Norman [1940]. It is characterized by nonprogressive ataxia, delay in language acquisition, persistent dysarthria, strabismus, hypotonia, and mental retardation. Neuroimaging demonstrates cerebellar atrophy affecting the vermis and/or hemis
The Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly is a defect of the anterior chamber of the eye affecting the angle structures. If accompanied by hypodontia, midface hypoplasia, and umbilical anomalies, the designation ''Rieger syndrome'' is appropriate. Both conditions are autosomal dominant traits. The Axenfeld-Rieger
In an isolated and founding Iranian population the prevalence of congenital total blindness is 1.1%. Clinical findings such as lack of perception of light, massive retrolental mass, shallow anterior chamber and nystagmus, in otherwise normal individuals, correspond to nonsyndromal congenital retinal
