✦ Synopsis
Oral-facial-digital syndrome type VI (OFDS VI) or Va ´radi syndrome is a rare autosomalrecessive disorder distinguished from other oral-facial-digital syndromes by metacarpal abnormalities with central polydactyly and by cerebellar abnormalities. Histopathologic characterization of the cerebellar abnormalities has not been described previously. We describe the neuropathologic findings in a stillborn, 21-week estimated gestational age (EGA) male fetus diagnosed antenatally with signs of OFDS VI. Autopsy findings included: facial abnormalities, postaxial central polydactyly of the right hand, bilateral bifid toes, and absence of cerebellar vermis with hypoplasia of the hemispheric cortex. Microscopic analysis of the cerebellum demonstrated absence of the subpial granular cell layer and disruption or dysgenesis of the glial architecture. These histopathologic findings suggest that a primary neuronal or glial cell defect, rather than an associated Dandy-Walker malformation, may account for the cerebellar abnormalities in this form of oral-facial-digital syndrome.

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 ¨ve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS), which comprises
