We describe an infant with multiple dysmorphic features who is mosaic for duplication 17q21.1----qter, owing to a direct tandem duplication. He is the first case with mosaicism for a 17q duplication to be reported. His features are strikingly suggestive of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome.

Volume dependence of the total energy and vibrational properties of crystalline l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine (RDX) are calculated using the density functional theory (DFT). For this molecular crystal, properties calculated with a generalized gradient approximation to the exchange-correlation energy differ drastically from experimental values. This discrepancy arises from the inadequacy in trea...
