We describe additional phenotypic features in a boy and his mother. Both manifested the phenotypic/genotypic correlation of oto-palato-digital syndrome type II. The mother's radiographs showed wormian bones of the skull, and paranasal bossing, her feet showed bilateral fusion of the cuboid with the lateral cuneiform bone with subsequent development of metatarsus varus associated with dysplastic...

we had the opportunity to examine the cranium of a young woman found at the well-known neolithic site of ali koshon the deh luran plain in southwestern iran. it has previously been claimed that her head shows traces of modification,a practice which can be termed as either cultural or artificial cranial modification. here, we describe several macroscopiccharacteristics of the modified crania and...

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a developmental anomaly of the skeleton and the teeth which is result of faulty development of membranous bones. This condition may be inherited or transmitted as dominant characteristics in either sex, or even may appear spontaneously. It presents with a wide range of features, characterized by clavicular aplasia or hypoplasia, short stature, supernumerary teeth. Oth...
