Clin Dysmorphol. 2001 Jan;10(1):69-70. doi: 10.1097/00019605-200101000-00016.

Abstract

We report a 6-year-old male of first cousin parents with the unique constellation of frontal bossing with brachycephaly, cutis aplasia congenita, blue sclerae, hypertelorism, hypoplastic nipples, rudimentary unilateral post-axial polydactyly of the hand, failure to thrive, mild to moderate developmental delay and sociable personality. Knoblock-Layer syndrome and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome were considered in the differential diagnosis and were excluded. No similar cases were found in LDDB or other databases.
