Fryns syndrome: a lethal mesoectodermal birth defect with variable expression in a pair of monozygotic twins.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a pair of twins with variable expressions of Fryns syndrome, both of whom died in the neonatal period. The syndrome is characterised by craniofacial dysmorphism, diaphragmatic hernia and distal limb hypoplasia. With this report, there are a total of 83 cases reported in the literature and this further serves to illustrate the clinical variability of this disorder.

متن کاملMonozygotic twins discordant for rubinstein-taybi syndrome.
A pair of male monozygotic twins discordant for Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is reported. Monozygosity of the twins was established using blood grouping, typing of serum proteins, isozymes, HLA, and chromosomal heteromorphisms. The twins are the first twin pair discordant for the syndrome in which monozygosity has been firmly established. The pathogenesis of the syndrome is discussed in relation t...
