J. M. Cantu, D. Garcia-Cruz, J. Sanchez-Corona, R. Fragoso, A. Hernandez and Z. Nazara-Cazorla
Three sisters with 3-M slender-boned nanism are described. The main
features were low birth weight, disproportionate dwarfism, large head for
height, triangular-shaped face with wide anteverted nostrils, long philtrum
and full lips, short neck, elbow malformation, pes planus with prominent
heels, slender bones with thin diaphyses, small pelvis, and mild mental
deficiency. Comparative analysis with the eight other cases reported in the
literature permits further clinical delineation and the corroboration of
autosomal recessive inheritance.
