Prenatal diagnosis and intrafamilial clinical heterogeneity of Fraser syndrome

Prenat Diagn. 2002 Aug;22(8):692-6. doi: 10.1002/pd.381.

Abstract

Fraser syndrome (MIM 219000) is a rare disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by the association of cryptophthalmos, syndactyly and genital abnormalities. Here we report on two cases of Fraser syndrome (cryptophthalmos syndrome) in a non-consanguineous couple, with variable expression in echographic, clinical and autopsy findings. Furthermore, we highlight the difficulties in prenatal diagnosis of Fraser syndrome.
