We report on the father-to-son transmission of a progeroid syndrome characterized by facial anomalies, sparse subcutaneous fat, and hand anomalies including syndactyly, camptodactyly, and finger deviation. Mild mental retardation, microcephaly, and congenital heart defect were found only in the son.

โฆ Synopsis
We describe a father and his son with bilateral absence of radius and thumb. Both have short stature, external ear malformation, and renal anomaly. In the son a high frequency of chromosome breaks in lymphocytes was found.
We compare this familial syndrome to Fanconi anemia and other radial ray aplasia syndromes and conclude that we are dealing with a different entity, which apparently is inherited as a dominant trait.

We describe a growth-retarded newborn infant with craniosynostosis, microcephaly, hydrancephaly, oligodactyly, humero-radial synostosis, and normal chromosomes. The combination of anomalies has hitherto been unreported and we consider this to be a "new" syndrome.
We report on a 6-year-old girl with short stature, facial anomalies, cutis aplasia, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, megalocorneae, kyphoscoliosis with multiple segmentation defects of the thoracic vertebrae, and 11 pairs of ribs. These anomalies together may represent a newly recognized syndrome.
We describe a multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) syndrome dominantly transmitted through three generations. Radial ray abnormalities with wide variability of expression were observed in four female patients. Moreover, a 14-week-gestation male fetus had severe radial ray malformation, anencephaly, u
