A 3-year-old Libyan boy with the XXXXY syndrome is described. MRI examination of the brain showed hypoplasia of the corpus callosum. He had growth retardation and endocrine studies demonstrated growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Derrnatoglyphic pattern was different from previous reports. At histological examination of the undescended testes, Leydig cells were seen although they are usually not found in this variant of the Klinefelter syndrome.

The 18qΨ syndrome is one of the commonest deletion syndromes. Clinical characteristics are variable but may include: hypotonia, tapered digits, "carp-like" mouth, mental retardation, and hearing impairment. Growth failure (GF; both weight and height <3%) was reported in 80% of affected individuals.
The 3C syndrome (cranio-cerebello-cardiac dysplasia or the Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome) is a recently delineated condition involving abnormalities of the cranium (large head with prominent forehead), cerebellum (Dandy-Walker cyst and vermis hypoplasia), and cardiac (primarily septal) defects. At leas
