Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) is associated with a variety of genetic and nongenetic conditions. We report a girl with CDP, complex congenital cardiac disease, central nervous system (CNS) anomalies, and clinical findings that resemble those of the sibs described by Toriello et al. [

โฆ Synopsis
The finding of stippled epiphyses on a neonatal radiograph generates a wide differential diagnosis, including genetic and teratogenic causes. We report the case of a male infant with stippled epiphyses evident on neonatal radiographs in whom a typical rash of lupus erythematosus developed. The skin abnormalities in the infant resulted in a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus in his mother. Over a 3-year follow-up period, the child has demonstrated strikingly short stature, midface hypoplasia, anomalous digital development, slow resolution of the stippled epiphyses, and near normal cognitive development. The differential diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata and the literature supporting maternal lupus as one cause are reviewed.

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
