Clinical Dysmorphology

Abstract

We report on a newborn male born to non-consanguineous parents with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) and additional findings of malformed ears, hypertelorism, brachyphalangy in the hands, pterygium of the elbows, knees, and wrists, complex lower limb pre-axial polydactyly, tibial shortening, clubfeet, horseshoe kidney and a micropenis. He had a 46,XY karyotype. His 36-year-old father had similar craniofacial and limb anomalies suggesting an autosomal dominant syndrome with variable expression. Our patients may represent the 3rd and 4th examples of a newly-described syndrome by Baraitser et al. [(1997) Clin Dysmorphol 6:111-121] which is distinguished by malformed ears, complex pre-axial polydactyly and tibial aplasia in the lower limbs, severe brachyphalangy in the hands, and a micropenis.
