✦ Synopsis

To the Editor: Kantaputra could not have been aware of the study that we published 15 days prior to their publication in the American Journal of Medical Genetics on Majewski Primordial Dwarfism Type II (MOPD II) [Hall et al., 2004]; however, having reviewed the same literature and having been in contact with the authors of those studies, as well as reviewing the natural history of our additional 31 new cases, there is no doubt in my mind that both of Kantaputra's families [Kantaputra, 2002;Kantaputra et al., 2004] represent classical cases of MOPD II.
