In this Journal, Stratton and Payne [1997] described a child with frontonasal abnormality who was found to have a 22q11 deletion. Because this was the first time that the association of nasal bifidity and this deletion was recognized, causality could not be distinguished from coincidence, although t

Agenesis of the penis is a rare malformation that occurs in otherwise normal males or together with other anomalies. In this article, we document unusual patterns of malformations in four such infants and analyze the nature and incidence of defects in 57 cases by clinical evaluation and numerical cl
We report on 3 male and 2 female infants with acromelic frontonasal dysostosis. All 5 had a frontonasal malformation of the face and nasal clefting associated with striking symmetrical preaxial polysyndactyly of the feet and variable tibial hypoplasia. In contrast, the upper limbs were normal. This
