โฆ Synopsis
We describe an Israeli Jewish child of Yemenite origin who may be affected with ''cerebro-osteo-nephrosis.'' She is short of stature (height below 3rd centile) due to skeletal abnormalities. She has minor anomalies and borderline intelligence. There is marked proteinuria and she is in kidney failure. Opitz et al. [1985: Am J Med Genet 22:521-529] described 2 Hutterite sisters in America who were suffering from a condition which greatly resembles that of our patient. We question whether these conditions in the two families are the same syndrome with pleiotropic expression, as suggested by Opitz et al., or whether they represent two distinct genetic entities. Am. J. Med. Genet. 72:383-385, 1997.

We describe a newborn girl with a lethal sclerosing bone dysplasia leading to prenatal skeletal alterations and microcephaly, proptosis, hypoplastic nose and midface, small jaw, cleft palate, hypertrophied gums, intracranial calcifications, and generalized osteosclerosis.

We present 5 unrelated patients, 3 boys and 2 girls, with Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) type 2. They all had cloverleaf skull, severe proptosis, ankylosis of the elbows, broad thumbs and/or broad halluces and variable accompanying anomalies. We review the literature on all subtypes of PS. Most patients wit
A 7-year-old boy had partial lipohypoplasia and patchy dermal hypoplasia involving large areas of his body. These areas of deficient growth were similar to those described in many cases of Proteus syndrome. Paradoxically, however, he had only few and rather mild lesions of disproportionate overgrowt
We describe a patient with microcephaly, developmental delay, and nephrotic syndrome who had normal renal function and normal brain imaging studies. She does not have the Galloway-Mowat syndrome. The concurrence of nephrotic syndrome with microcephaly and developmental delay may be coincidental, or
