Abstract
A 22βweek fetus who had died in utero had a markedly hypoplastic nose and other facial abnormalities, short fingers, hypoplastic nails, and small phallus. Radiologically there was symmetrical cartilaginous stippling of the vertebral column, femoral heads, calcanei and elbows typical of chondrodysplasia punctata (CP), and metacarpal shortness and tiny pyramidal phalanges. The several causally different forms of CP are tabulated. Differential diagnosis suggests that the present case, which does not have limb shortness, could be a case of Xβlinked recessive brachytelephalangic chondrodysplasia punctata.

X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata is characterised by resolving irregular punctate calcifications of epiphyses, variable ichthyosis and atrophoderma, short stature, and cataracts. We report on a patient with this syndrome who had transiently abnormal peroxisomal function tests. We review t
Chondrodysplasia punctata (CP) is a heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias that are characterized by abnormal calcium deposition in areas of enchondral bone formation. The existence of an X-linked recessive form of chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX) has been recognized in patients who are nullisomic f
## Abstract Xβlinked chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX1), due to mutations of the arylsulfatase E (__ARSE__) gene, is a congenital disorder characterized by abnormalities in cartilage and bone development. We performed mutational analysis of the __ARSE__ gene in a series of 16 male patients, and we f
