The weight at birth was 1.02 kg, and the occipitofrontal circumference was 30.5 cm. She had a wide anterior fontanelle, small palpebral fissures, microretrognathia, tightening of skin, areas of denuded skin, and contracture of almost all joints of the extremities (Figure 1). Her mother previously had one stillbirth and another early neonatal death of unknown etiology. Her thyroid stimulating hormone and complete blood count were within the normal limits. In view of poor prognosis, her parents decided against continuing medical care and the baby was discharged. Due to the presence of the typical features of restrictive dermopathy, genetic confirmation was carried out at the Division of Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases, Center for Human Nutrition, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA. The results revealed a homozygous c.1085insT (p.F361fs*380) mutation in ZMPSTE24 gene, thereby confirming the diagnosis.
