โฆ Synopsis
Renal agenesis and obstructive urinary tract anomalies causing oligohydramnios usually result in pulmonary hypoplasia. We report on the first female monoamniotic twin born with a combination of bilateral renal agenesis, agenesis of the urinary collecting system, absent external genitalia, anal atresia and single umbilical artery, compatible with VATER association but with normal pulmonary function. The infant had none of the manifestations of Potter sequence, in particular the facial changes and pulmonary hypoplasia typically associated with bilateral renal a/ dysgenesis. The monoamniotic cotwin had normal renal function, such that sufficient amniotic fluid volume was maintained. This patient emphasizes the importance of adequate amniotic fluid volume for normal pulmonary development. The possible underestimation of genital malformations in the VATER association should be considered. Also noteworthy is the rare absence of external genitalia.

We report on a pair of monozygotic twins with persistent truncus arteriosus. They had no evident clinical signs of DiGeorge syndrome. Pathologic examination of the placenta and DNA analysis in chromosomes 7, 8, and 15 was consistent with monozygosity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization test was nega

The cause of Sotos syndrome is unknown but it usually occurs sporadically. Recent studies have shown no evidence of uniparental disomy. One set of concordant monozygotic twins has been reported. We have identified the Sotos syndrome in one of two 5-year-old male monozygotic twins. Our finding of dis

We describe a 34-year-old woman with mental retardation, short stature, macrocephaly, a ''coarse'' face, hoarse voice, and redundant skin with deep palmar and plantar creases who had evident Costello syndrome. Lacking papillomata, she had wartlike lesions of the skin. The previously reported patient

Restrictive dermopathy (RD) is a lethal autosomal recessive genodermatosis (MIM No. 275210) in which tautness of the skin causes fetal akinesia or hypokinesia deformation sequence (FADS). Polyhydramnios with reduced fetal movements is followed by premature delivery at around 31 weeks gestation. Mani

Functional methionine synthase deficiency due to abnormal methylcobalamin metabolism causes megaloblastic anemia, moderate to severe developmental delay, lethargy, and anorexia in association with homocystinuria. Patients with this disorder of cobalamin metabolism can be classified into two separate
