Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome (SSS) or congenital synspondylism is a recently delineated clinical entity. At least 15 patients have been reported. We present 3 new patients, 2 of whom were sibs born to first-cousin parents. All of our patients had multiple synostoses involving cervical, th

β¦ Synopsis
Recently, Marc ΒΈano and Richieri-Costa [1998] described a new autosomal dominant mandibulofacial dysostosis in a Brazilian family with five affected individuals, in three generation comprising malar hypoplasia, cleft lip with or without cleft palate, mild upslanting palpebral fissures, and abnormal ears. Here, we report on a girl with mandibulofacial disostosis that resembles the patients described by Marc ΒΈano and Richieri-Costa [1998].
ACP (Fig. and) is the second child of young, healthy, nonconsanguineous parents with a normal sister and no similar cases in the family. She was born normally after an uncomplicated pregnancy. Birth weight and length were 2,100 g (<3rd centile) and 46.0 cm (3rd centile), respectively. Neuropsychological development was normal. Evaluation at age 6 7/12 years showed weight of 22 kg (50th centile), height of 118 cm (50th centile), OFC of 50 cm (<50th centile). She had up-slanting palpebral fissures, high nasal bridge, malar hypoplasia, Robin sequence with severe microgna-Fig. 1. Clinical aspects of the patient.

We present a girl with lax, redundant skin, ectropion, bulbous nose, macrostomia, and absence of mammary glands. To our knowledge, she represents the fourth described case of Barber-Say Syndrome (BSS). BSS and ablepharon macrostomia syndrome (AMS) share common and distinctive clinical manifestations
including sparse hair, a "pearshaped" nose, osteodysplasia with coneshaped epiphyses, and autosomal dominant inheritance, but is distinguished by the presence of severe brachydactyly. TRP III was first described in 1984
Recent studies demonstrated the existence of a genetically distinct, usually lethal form of the Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) of myotonia and skeletal dysplasia, which we called SJS type 2. This disorder is reminiscent of another rare condition, the Stu Β¨ve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS), which comprises
