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

โฆ Synopsis
Further Delineation of the Verloes-Koulischer-Oro-Acral Syndrome
To the Editor: Verloes and Koulischer [1992] reported on a woman with absence of the medial part of the upper alveolar ridge including the gingiva, frenulum, and tooth buds for the maxillary incisors and canines, for which the name Verloes-Koulischer oro-acral (VKOA) syndrome was suggested in the London Dysmorphology data-ase. Cohen [1992] reported on a boy with absent maxillary incisors and canines and asymmetric defects of the hands and the left first and second toes. Both these individuals also had a similar facial appearnce with a receding upper lip and relative mandibuar prognathism. Neither had a cleft of the palate or lip, nor anomaly of the tongue, although the girl was reported to have a notch in the upper alveolar ridge.

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
