Am J Med Genet. 1996 May 17;63(2):382-5. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1096-8628(19960517)63:2<382::AID-AJMG11>3.0.CO;2-G.

Abstract

We report on a 25-year-old woman with typical manifestations of the cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome, but without mental retardation. She had valvular and infundibular pulmonic stenosis, brittle and woolly hair with patchy alopecia, scant body hair, dry and hypohydrotic skin, and characteristic facial traits. To our knowledge, this is the first case of CFC syndrome without mental retardation but typical cutaneous findings.
