We determined the entire sequence of the mitochondrial genome in affected individuals from three families with idiopathic orthostatic hypotension. The disorder in two of these families was recently linked to chromosome arm 18q, while the third family remains unlinked. In all three families, orthosta
Two sisters presented with a syndrome of characteristic facial anomalies and distal arthrogryposis. The older sister is now 4 years old and is severely mentally retarded.

We report on two brothers, a 22-month-old boy and a 7-month-old boy, with multiple distal arthrogryposis (DA), peculiar facial appearance, cleft palate, short stature, hydronephrosis, retentio testis, and normal intelligence and karyotypes. The parents were cousins once removed. The combination of t
