-Papas syndrome is a severe autosomal recessive popliteal pterygium syndrome. Other anomalies include microcephaly, facial clefts, filiform bands, ankylob l e p h a r o n , s y n d a c t y l y , a n d o t h e r ectodermal and nonectodermal anomalies. We report on four Arab sibs with manifestations of this syndrome and some additional traits that include cutis aplasia, widely spaced nipples, low-set umbilicus, and unilateral renal hypoplasia among others.

Similar cases from the literature are reviewed. Am.

We describe two de novo cases of extra r(8) confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Based on these two and eight additional cases of extra r(8) confirmed by FISH, the phenotype is better documented.

We report on 2 sisters with Karsch-Neugebauer syndrome comprising split foot and split hand anomalies in association with congenital nystagmus. These sisters share a nearly identical phenotype with the 8 previously reported instances of this disorder. Although genetic heterogeneity can not be formal
