Acro-spondylo-pubic dysostosis associated with cataracts, microcephaly, and normal intelligence

Am J Med Genet A. 2015 Feb;167A(2):282-6. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.36851. Epub 2014 Nov 26.

Abstract

We report on an adult male with normal intelligence who exhibited an unusual combination of microcephaly, dysostoses of limbs, vertebrae, patellae, and pubic bone, camptodactyly of all fingers, and syndactyly of toes, absent nails on thumbs and some fingers, bilateral cataract, cryptorchidism, polythelia, and nipple-like skin pigmentations of shoulders and upper back. We have been unable to find a description of a similar combination of manifestations in literature. The cause of the anomalies remains unknown.

Keywords: abnormal metacarpals; absent nails; absent patella; absent pubic ramus; agenesis of fingers; camptodactyly; cataract; dysostosis; polythelia; syndactyly.
